NEWS YOU CAN USE FROM VANDYKE SOFTWARE® If you sensed a pulse of soothing energy in the last few
days, it might have been the wave of bliss from satisfied SecureFX®
users everywhere, who had one of their major requests fulfilled: ------------- 1. Major Upgrade To SecureFX Supports TLS/SSL -------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------ SecureFX 4.0, newly available in beta release, adds a protocol option with support for FTP over SSL. Other new capabilities include a transfer queue, one-step file moves, and simplified HTTP proxy support. FTP over SSL (TLS) gives organizations an alternative for secure file transfer, important for servers that only support SSL, or when firewall settings prevent the use of Secure Shell connections. In addition, a transfer queue option allows files to be lined up and then transferred sequentially. Download SecureFX 4.0 (beta) today to increase your secure file transfer flexibility.
--------------------------------------------------------------------- The continuous improvement department has been busy adding choice features to SecureCRT 5.2, now available for download. This beta release enhances tab functionality, particularly the ability to open new sessions in tabs and new scripting capabilities. The full list of tab enhancements includes:
Other enhancements include displaying the connection time in the status bar and paste on right mouse click. As in SecureFX 4.0, SecureCRT 5.2 provides simplified HTTP proxy support and enhanced support for X.509 host keys. A CRT™ 5.2 beta release includes tab enhancements and other features not related to Secure Shell. To try the expanded tab support today, download your evaluation copy of SecureCRT 5.2 (beta) from the VanDyke Software web site. ------------------------------------------------------------------- If you have several SecureCRT tabbed sessions open, it can be a bother to cycle through all open tabs when all you want is to switch back and forth between two tabs. The recent beta release of SecureCRT 5.2 gives you the option to have the CTRL+TAB keyboard shortcut switch between the two most recently used tabs. If you would like to try the new switching functionality, please visit the SecureCRT download pages. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Forum user gary1234 wants to know how to open SSH2 sessions from a list of URLs in a browser.
