VShell® 3.5 Server for Windows and UNIX

In a network environment where you are confronted daily with new security threats to fight with limited resources, you need technology that is secure, professionally supported, and based on open standards. The VShell server lets you close Telnet and FTP security holes with a commercially supported Secure Shell package, fulfilling your need for secure network administration, file transfer, and end-user access on a variety of Windows, Linux, and UNIX platforms.

With the VShell server you can save critical admin time by tracking network conditions with automation tools like triggers. Exercise precise access management through VShell's Access Control Lists (ACLs) and SFTP virtual directories.


Replace Telnet and FTP with proven Secure Shell encryption, authentication, and data integrity: Proven Secure Shell technology arms you with open-standards-based strong encryption, trusted authentication, and data integrity, so you can confidently transport electronic data over public networks.

Save admin time with automation "triggers" to monitor network use: VShell server triggers give you the power to track and respond to a wide variety of network events. You can send admin alerts on failed logon attempts, script actions after SFTP uploads and download events — think of triggers as the nerve endings of your network.

Control user access to features and files easily: The VShell server provides controls to help you configure the server environment to provide appropriate access privileges to every network user. Virtual root directories allow you to control file transfer access on a user and group basis. Chroot users and groups and "jail shell" let you restrict users' file system access and activities to their home directories. Access control lists are a powerful interface to allow or deny use of shell and file transfer services.

Choose one of four editions to deploy the VShell server: Use a modular approach to deploy cost-effective solutions that fit your needs. The VShell server can be licensed to meet the needs of every size network and organization, from single admin-only server access to enterprise-wide remote access, secure file transfer, and data tunneling solutions.

Support the platforms you use from one source: Choose from Windows, Linux, and a variety of UNIX platforms with a consistent set of services and professional support.

 


New for VShell 3.5

FTP over SSL and a Control Panel makeover are two of the exciting new changes in VShell 3.5.

  • Three New Editions of VShell with FTP over SSL (FTPS) Support:
    • VShell with FTPS is now available in Administrator, Workgroup, and Enterprise Editions.
    • Secure file transfer using the FTP protocol in which all data sent or received is protected by SSL/TLS based encryption.
    • The FTPS module honors existing VShell settings for Virtual Roots, Access Control Lists, Connection Filters, Triggers, Deny Host, Logging, and User Database.
  • Logging:
    • New W3C extended log file format allows the use of third party log tools to analyze VShell activity.
    • All log messages can now be sent to a remote syslog or syslog-ng server.
    • All log messages can now (optionally) be sent to the Windows Event Log.
  • VShell Control Panel Makeover:
    • Increased size of the VShell Control Panel.
    • Changed layout of Virtual Roots page to allow easier configuration.
    • Support for sortable columns on Virtual Roots, User Database, and RunAs Commands pages.
  • Internal User Database: Configure VShell specific users through the new VShell Control Panel User Database page. The VShell defined users are separate from Windows System accounts.
  • Disconnect Active Sessions: Administrator can now use the "who" command-line utility to disconnect active sessions.
  • RunAs Commands: Users connecting to VShell can now remotely execute commands as a different user. The VShell administrator has control over who can remotely execute a command as a different user, which commands they can execute, and who the commands are executed as.
  • VShell Service Control: Start and stop the VShell SSH2 and VShell FTPS services from the VShell Control Panel Common page.
