NEWS YOU CAN USE FROM VANDYKE SOFTWARE® The new Mac OS X version of SecureCRT® may not be the best-kept of secrets, but we do hope that when you try the beta release you will have a pleasant surprise. Our developers have made sure that the Mac version is fully capable in session management, terminal emulation, security, and automation. Of course, the Windows applications have also been upgraded, with SecureFX® receiving a parallel transfer setting and a bandwidth "throttle". You'll read about all the new features below, as well as some useful information from our user forums. ------------- 1. Anniversary Celebration – SecureCRT 6.6 Beta Adds Mac OS X!
-------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fifteen years ago in August 1995, Jeff P. Van Dyke released his CRT™ terminal emulator just as Microsoft Windows 95 hit the market and the platform became viable for users on every level. With over a million licensed users and many advances since then, including SecureCRT with Secure Shell to protect user accounts and data, a similar opportunity has appeared with the resurgence of the Mac operating system. Now system administrators and informed users want to run SecureCRT on a MacBook Pro to connect UNIX, Linux, Windows, and Mac systems. With SecureCRT 6.6 for Mac OS X, you can start with a fully-capable secure terminal emulator that builds on those fifteen years of hard-won expertise. You probably are familiar with the range of SecureCRT capabilities that the Mac OS X version comes with:
Sessions and configuration files can be shared between Mac and Windows versions to keep multiple installations of SecureCRT synchronized. But you don't have to believe us: listen to some of the users who have already tried SecureCRT for Mac OS X. "The ability to save, edit, and easily load sessions makes SecureCRT a significant improvement over the Mac OS X Terminal." You can read the full write-up here.

SecureFX 6.6, just released in beta 2, gives you greater control over transfer bandwidth and parallel file transfers. A new "throttle" setting allows you to limit bandwidth so that transfers do not consume all of your available bandwidth. On the same Options page, you may also set the number of parallel transfers allowed so that new files continually fill the number of slots available. These two options allow you to optimize SecureFX for a wide range of uses and network connection speeds. If you are on a dialup connection, you would use all the bandwidth and For more information on the SecureFX 6.6 beta release, visit our beta product section. You can also download the SecureFX 6.6 beta for evaluation today. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- With all the news about the Mac OS X platform, you'll be glad to know that we paid attention to the Windows versions too. The SecureCRT 6.6 for Windows beta release introduces scripting with Python, adds a "Send Binary" file transfer mode, and automatically generates a unique log file name for cloned sessions and SFTP tabs. VanDyke ClientPack 6.6 beta improves VRALib with added support for overwrite flags, and the vsftp utility gains the ability to rename (move) local files.

He says, "I normally open SecureCRT and log into one of my servers at least a dozen times in different directories, renaming the tabs, etc. Is it possible to save all these open windows when I exit such that I can open them all again as a single profile and not have to open each window and set it manually?" Brenda Gagnon from VanDyke Software Support outlines how to open multiple sessions at once, with suggestions on configuring sessions and placing them in a "My Startup" folder to use as the SecureCRT "auto session". Read the complete forum thread here. The VanDyke Support website has several tips relating to this subject. In case you were on vacation in June, the most recent issue of the newsletter covered Support tips for managing multiple connections.
