VanDyke SecureCRT 8.0.1 build 1082 [En]

Changes in SecureCRT 8.0.1 (Official) -- April 26, 2016

buttons to be color coded. This feature was inadvertently omitted
from the Beta 1 history.

Changes:

- Pressing ALT+M will open the Session Manager if it's hidden.

exported from SecureCRT 8.0 if the settings contained a button bar.
- The fallback mechanism for public-key authentication did not work
correctly and authentication failed rather than prompting for the

• Securely access business applications on UNIX, Linux, or VMS from machines running Windows, Linux, and Mac — employ the rich emulation support for VT100/102/220, TN3270, ANSI, SCO ANSI, Wyse 50/60, Xterm, and Linux console.
  
  
• Configure, manage, and organize all your sessions with full control over scrollback, key mappings, colors, fonts, and more — whether you have one or thousands of sessions.
  
  
• Access your full array of network devices from one client with SSH (SSH2, SSH1), Telnet, Telnet/TLS, serial, and other protocols.
  
  
• Leverage the high-productivity GUI with time-saving capabilities including multi-session launch, tabbed sessions, tab groups (Windows), tiled sessions, cloned sessions, a button bar for repeated commands, and mapped keys.
  
  
• Depend on the open standard Secure Shell (SSH) protocol for encrypted logon and session data, flexible authentication options, and optional FIPS 140-2 -approved ciphers.
  
  
• Automate repetitive tasks in SecureCRT by running scripts using VBScript, JScript, PerlScript, or Python. The script recorder builds your keystrokes into a VBScript or Python script.
  
  
• Transfer files between network devices with SFTP, Xmodem, Ymodem, Zmodem, or Kermit. A built-in TFTP server provides additional file transfer flexibility.
  
  
• Save steps with the close integration of SecureCRT and the SecureFX® file transfer client, which share sessions and settings that let you run SFTP, FTP, SCP, and FTP/TLS file transfer sessions without reentering passwords.
