SSH2 support |
VShell SSH2 support offers cross-platform security when connecting from remote clients for shell, file transfer, or port forwarding access. Connect with Secure Shell clients including SecureCRT, SecureFX, and a wide variety of other standard tools. |
|
|
Data encryption |
Encrypt the data using a wide selection of ciphers including AES-128-CTR, AES-192-CTR, AES-256-CTR, AES-128, AES-192, AES-256, Twofish, Blowfish, 3DES, and RC4. RSA (up to 16,384 bits) and DSA public-key authentication and X.509 (Windows) certificate authentication methods are also supported. |
|
|
Data integrity |
Message authentication codes (MACs) protect the integrity of each message sent over the network (preventing replay or insertion attacks). Support for SHA2-512, SHA2-256, SHA1, SHA1-96, MD5, MD5-96, UMAC-64 is included. |
|
|
Data compression |
Configurable data compression helps improve transfer speeds over slower network links. |
|
|
Host identity verification |
Unique server host key proves its identity to a client as a "known" host (preventing a man-in-the-middle attack). DSA (ssh-dss), RSA (ssh-rsa), and ECDSA (ecdsa-sha2-nistp) host key algorithms supported. |
|
|
Port forwarding |
Forward TCP/IP ports to securely access standard data traffic like POP3 and SMTP over the internet and intranets through a single, secure, multiplexed channel. |
|
|
Deny Host file |
VShell for Windows and UNIX now tracks failed authentications by IP address. Once an IP address has been added to the Deny Hosts file, VShell will not allow future connections from that address. |
|
|
Jail shell |
Two configuration options, ChrootUsers and ChrootGroups, combine to restrict users and members of groups to their home directory with any shell, SFTP, or subsystem operation. |
|
|
IPv6 support |
Transparent support for IPv6 allows you to move to the new protocol whenever you are ready. |
|
|
Pass-through printing support |
Pass-through printing allows a remote host program to print on the printer attached to your local terminal (or PC running terminal emulation). |
|
|
Command-line utilities |
Automate routine tasks using command-line utilities: vsftp for an interactive SFTP command line, vsh for command-line shell access, vcp for command-line file transfer, vkeygen to generate public/private keys, and vpka to upload keys to the server. |
|
|
VRALib API for scripting
SSH2 sessions |
The VRALib API allows scripting of SSH2 connections through a Windows COM interface. Supported operations include full control over SSH2 connections, sending a command to an SSH2 server and getting the output produced by the command, tunneling/port forwarding, file transfers using SFTP, remote file management, adding host keys to a host key database, and adding keys to the SSH2 authentication agent. |
|
|
Mouse support |
VShell provides mouse support for character-based applications running in a command window. |
