NEWS YOU CAN USE FROM VANDYKE SOFTWARE® This month we turn our attention to making SecureCRT® and SecureFX® work smarter for you. We have a tip on importing sessions using external data, information on scripting with the ReadString() method, and a forum post on tweaking the default Windows session handler for Telnet. Also, there's a new SecureFX feature in development that you might be interested in testing. ------------- 1. Tip: Importing SecureCRT Sessions from a Data File
-------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you keep a list of the servers, routers, and other devices you routinely connect to in a .csv or other data file, you can use a script to import the data into SecureCRT sessions, rather than manually creating them one at a time. In this tip, we explain how to set up a data file, and provide a sample VBScript that you can modify for your specific setup. You only need a few basic script-writing skills to get started. To read the complete tip on importing sessions from a data file, visit this VanDyke Software Support web page. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Have you ever wanted to run commands from a script and log just the output from those commands? You can do this by using ReadString(), a method of the Screen object in SecureCRT. ReadString() gives access to data as it comes from the remote system. One application of this is to add logging to a script that performs scheduled maintenance tasks. Read the complete tip on logging command output with
ReadString() here. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- A new version of SecureFX, now in pre-beta release, adds the ability to download files to the current working directory (CWD) with a single click. If you would like to test and provide feedback on this new SecureFX feature, please send e-mail to -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Forum user alkman82 asks, "How can I open a new Telnet CRT session IN A NEW TAB and not in a new CRT window from [the] hyperlink?" Jake from VanDyke Software Support explains how to edit the
Windows registry entry for Telnet links to use the SecureCRT /T
command-line option. ---------------------------------------- Tab upgrades, Windows 7 support, and emulator keyword high-lighting lead the way for the December official releases of SecureCRT 6.5 and SecureFX 6.5, along with the VShell 3.6 server and VanDyke ClientPack 6.5 official versions.
