NEWS YOU CAN USE FROM VANDYKE SOFTWARE® A new official release always gets top billing, and the
VShell® 3.0 server is no exception – read our follow-up to the
April beta announcement. Then, we toss out some ideas for using the new
triggers, as well as the latest on the ever-popular practice of running
applications from flash drives. To ease into the summer break, we pass
along some recent coverage of our products and survey results. Back at
you in August, then. ------------- 1. VShell 3.0 Server Official: Time-saving Triggers And More -------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The official release of the VShell 3.0 server in June delivers time-savings with administrator tools including seven new automation "triggers", configuration enhancements, and built-in SCP support. The VShell 3.0 release more than doubles the number of VShell "trigger"
conditions available. The seven new triggers are Login, Logout, File Rename,
File Delete, Folder Create, Folder Rename, SCP support lets admins allow users limited file transfer without granting shell access permission. Built-in SCP support handles processing of remote execution requests over SSH2 from secure RCP replacement clients. Control SCP use by applying access control lists (ACLs), virtual root or "jail" directories, and logging SCP activity. Configuring VShell 3.0 is made easier in several ways. The Windows VShellConfig
utility adds import and export of configuration data so that you can make
backups of existing configurations and move them to different machines.
A new "Listen Addresses" page on the VShell Control Panel manages
a Version 3.0 now offers a native 64-bit Windows version that allows public-key-only authentication. And a custom modular edition of VShell is available to streamline configuration and distribution for large customers. Contact VanDyke Software Sales for more information on the VShell Custom Edition. To upgrade, download your official release copy of the VShell 3.0 server today. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Product Director Maureen posted the following not long ago on the File Transfer forum: "SecureFX 6.0 has been changed so that the default transfer type
overrides the "Unknown" transfer type. 6.0 is in pre-beta testing.

On top of this, a pre-beta release of a new U3-ready installer is now
available for testing from VanDyke Software development. Please send e-mail

The article led with the Amplitude Research survey's findings of increased IT staff satisfaction with budgets for network security, and continued to detail significant advances in corporate policy for securing file transfer, as well as chronicling a major shift in replacement of Telnet with Secure Shell. Hines' article, titled "Companies open wallets for secure data,"
reported survey findings that the number of respondents happy with budgets
for IT security increased from 47 to 63 percent InfoWorld quoted Steve Birnkrant, CEO of Amplitude, as saying, "People are finally waking up to all the vulnerabilities that affect Telnet, and this will greatly improve security for exchanging sensitive data over remote connections." Rread the InfoWorld story here. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the June 5th issue, PC Magazine had this to say about SecureCRT: "With this über-terminal emulator, you can access distant machines straight from your desktop without exposing user accounts, passwords, or important data to the outside world – whether you're using LAN or the Web. You're free to service remote applications, provide end-user support, or even transfer files."
