NEWS YOU CAN USE FROM VANDYKE SOFTWARE® This month's news brings you release candidates for 6.7 versions of SecureCRT(R), SecureFX(R), and ClientPack, as well as the 3.8 version of VShell(R). Next, results are in from this year's "What Keeps You Up at Night?" survey. We also have two articles discussing how to capitalize on recently introduced VShell capabilities, plus a useful forum post. ------------- 1. Release Candidates Available!
-------------------------
-------------------------------------------- With official releases right around the corner, release candidates are now available for the 6.7 versions of SecureCRT, SecureFX, and ClientPack, as well as the 3.8 version of VShell. SecureCRT 6.7 release introduces a Linux version and improves productivity with a "Connect" bar and button bar enhancements. VShell 3.8 increases the network administrator's fine-grained control with a real-time connection monitor and improvements to virtual root directories. SecureFX 6.7 saves time with directory bookmarks and a"Connect" bar. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Starting with version 3.8, VShell for Windows has increased control over user access, with the ability to set specific file operation permissions on virtual root folders for individual users and groups. The administrator can now allow or deny file operations (upload, download, delete) and folder operations (list, create, delete). Permissions can be set on a per-user/group, per-virtual root basis. To read the complete tip on managing virtual permissions, visit the Support section of the VanDyke Software website. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Recent developments provide a new way to determine the current disk usage on remote machines running VShell 3.8 for Windows or newer releases. This benefits the system administrator who needs an easy way to monitor drive space on remote systems without physically visiting each machine. The method uses the VRALib COM and .NET interface, version 6.7 or later. VRALib is included with the Windows versions of both our VShell and ClientPack products. A sample VBScript is provided in the online tip. To read the tip on scanning remote disk usage, visit the Support web pages. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The results of our April 2011 survey of 364 network and systems administrators are in. This year, workplace use of social media continues to be a security issue. Cloud computing and the finance/budget environment are also areas of significant concern. The following are some of the highlights of survey results. Social media
