VanDyke Software Updates on Beta Releases of SecureCRT 7.3 and SecureFX 7.3 [Professional Services Close - Up]


(Professional Services Close - Up Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) VanDyke Software reported the beta releases of SecureCRT 7.3 and SecureFX 7.3.

According to a VanDyke Software release, SecureCRT 7.3 and SecureFX 7.3 now offer the dockable session manager on the Mac and Linux platforms and add a filter bar to the session manager for locating sessions in the session database.

The company noted that the 7.3 releases also introduce an import/ export tool that makes it easier to backup or copy settings from one machine to another. Both applications now have the ability to generate and store larger keys in the SSH Agent, improving security.



SecureCRT 7.3 also improves productivity with enhanced keyword highlighting. "In this release we've responded to customer requests for more extensive keyword highlighting," said Maureen Jett, Product Director for SecureCRT. "With the ability to specify colors and combine keyword attributes, system administrators can easily color code critical output that they want to have stand out and identify errors in log files or streaming output, or to highlight prompts. In addition, on the Windows platform regular expressions can be used as keywords, allowing you to highlight important output such as IP address or keywords followed by number strings like 'error1', 'error2', and so on." Also new in SecureCRT 7.3 are named pipes (Windows only) and scripting support for Kermit file transfers. SecureFX adds PGP compatibility, making it possible to automatically execute the encryption and decryption process, a new SFXCL "resume" option for resuming interrupted transfers, and the ability to display filenames using UTF-8.

VanDyke Software is a developer of multi-platform secure terminal emulation and secure- file transfer software.
