Albuquerque, N.M. (June 26, 2007) -- For time-strapped network administratorsworking to secure their networks, the VShell 3.0 server from VanDyke Software , Inc.offers new ways to automate routine administrative tasks with expanded triggers andconfiguration options.
 WeÂ're continually working to enhance VShellÂ's capabilities with features that helpadministrators save time, said Jeff P. Van Dyke, President of VanDyke Software.  VShell 3.0 increases the number of trigger conditions that can be set on the serverand allows processes to be batched. For example, if end users or admins aretransferring a large number of files to a VShell server in the DMZ, you can set up atrigger that, on user logout, calls a script -- in this case you might want to scanthe uploaded files with a virus checker, move the files to an internal network, andthen log the event to an SQL server for reporting or auditing. This kind ofautomation can save an administrator a lot of time.Â
VShell 3.0 also introduces built-in SCP support, allowing administrators to grantusers limited file transfer access to a server or to schedule unattended filetransfers. VShellÂ's built-in SCP implementation honors settings for logging, accesscontrol lists (ACLs), and VShellÂ's virtual root directories.
With the configuration import/export capability in the Windows version, existingserver configurations can be backed-up in XML format and then cloned, edited, ormoved to other machines. Other new features include a native 64-bit version ofVShell providing full support for public-key-only authentication on Windows XP x64machines, and support for Windows Vista.
The VShell Secure Shell server replaces Telnet and FTP for secure networkadministration and end-user access on Windows and UNIX platforms. Precision controlover privileges, the ability to fine-tune your Secure Shell environment, and a wideselection of strong authentication methods give you a flexible solution that growswith your evolving security policies. VanDyke Software also develops clientapplications for use with VShell and other Secure Shell servers. SecureCRTÂ is thetool of choice for IT professionals who are responsible for network administrationand end-user access where security is critical, combining a feature-filled terminalemulator with the security of the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol. SecureFXÂ is aversatile file transfer application that supports SFTP, FTP over SSL, as well asstandard FTP.
