VShell® Server — Secure Remote Adminstration

Every network administrator knows the drill: you get an emergency phone call asking you to provide access to a new employee to critical network resources. Or a service on a remote server needs to be restarted. The call always seems to come when you're up to your elbows in something really important already. So what's an overworked admin supposed to do?

With VShell running on your Windows or UNIX servers, you can secuely access and administer these resources from virtually any location. Here are just a few of the tasks you can accomplish securely at your desk, at home, or on the road with VShell.

  • Create and modify users' accounts
  • Modify user and group access
  • Get alerts, via VShell triggers, when network events occur that require your attention
  • Check print queues
  • Transfer and update files
  • Start and stop services and daemons
  • Edit files remotely with Windows EDIT, vi, emacs or other editors

System administrators can securely access their VShell servers from the Internet with SecureCRT, vsh, or any standard SSH2 client.

VShell's command shell lets you edit files remotely

If you have been using an application for remote control and administration that is tied to proprietary interfaces, the combination of VShell and SecureCRT gives you a more standard, flexible, efficient technology with world-class security.
