IT Survey Shows Remote Access, File Transfer Are Priorities -------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Results of our fifth annual "What Keeps You Up At Night?" survey show that secure remote access and file transfer continue to grow in importance to IT professionals as other high-profile areas have leveled off. The survey, conducted by Amplitude Research last month, asked network administrators to rank their top three security management issues. Of eleven areas ranked, securing remote access and file transfer continue to increase in priority, though at a slower rate than last year. Here are the top 11 management concerns for 2008:
Fully 80% of respondents using secure file transfer said that their security policies identified what sensitive data required secure file transfer, up from only 60% in 2006. However, only 42% reported always using a secure method of file transfer when exchanging sensitive data with customers or other third parties, and only 40% when transferring files internally.

Dubie ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VanDyke Software Development group continues to work on new capabilities for SecureCRT and SecureFX. This month, we have two new features in pre-beta release for you to try: a Connect dialog search function, and new commands for the SecureFX right-click menus. The Connect dialog search operation for SecureCRT and SecureFX will allow you to search for a session name, hostname, folder name, or description keyword. SecureFX's new right-click menu items will provide all these navigation options: back, forward, parent folder, home folder, root folder, current Explorer folder. To try out and provide feedback on the new Connect search or SecureFX context menus, send e-mail to . ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The VShell server has two new capabilities available in pre-beta software for review and comment. An internal user database provides accounts with SFTP, SCP, and FTPS file transfer services. Access to these services is controlled by the server's Access Control and Virtual Root settings, and user profiles can be managed from the VShell Control Panel or with VShellConfig. Next is "who --kill", which adds the ability to disconnect active VShell connections using the "who" utility with a "--kill" command-line option. This gives the network administrator additional control over the connections to the server. If you are interested in testing and giving feedback on either of these new capabilities, send e-mail to . ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A common need in scripting is the ability to create GUI interfaces for user interaction, like gathering username and password data, or displaying script output. While VBScript's MsgBox and InputBox let you script certain simple interactions, you can create more sophisticated dialogs using HTML code with the Internet Explorer object. This tip walks you through building the dialog, displaying it, and handling events in the dialog with full code samples. To read the complete tip, visit the VanDyke Software website Tips
