 Time strapped network administrators always look for ways to simplify and automatetheir processes, said Maureen Jett, VanDyke Software's Product Director.  WithSecureCRT 5.5 and SecureFX 4.5, we provide new ways to automatically connect tomultiple servers on startup using the built-in auto session, and to easily movebetween the terminal emulation and file transfer applications. WeÂ've also added ascript recorder to SecureCRT. This makes scripting repetitive functions easier to doon the fly and brings scripting within reach of less experienced users.Â
 Auto starting with a given folder is tremendously useful, said a SecureCRTcustomer using the 5.5 release.  I also like the way you can right-click a folderand pick Connect in Tabs, which opens each item located in the folder in a new tab.  We also looked at interoperability and compatibility with these releases, saidJett.  Customers find it difficult to deal with key formats for public-keyauthentication. They were asking for more options and flexibility, so we addedsupport for OpenSSH format keys. Windows Vista is also supported with these newreleases.Â
To further improve integration of SecureCRT and SecureFX, SSH2 session passwords canbe cached like passphrases, so that you donÂ't have to re-enter passwords. Thisbuilds on the applicationsÂ' ability to share session settings, public-key storage,and other configuration elements. Toolbar buttons in both applications make it easyto switch between terminal emulation and file transfer activities.
