SecureCRT gives you rock-solid terminal emulation, file transfer, and data tunneling combined with the strong encryption, authentication, and data integrity of the Secure Shell protocol. Whether you are looking for a Telnet replacement with solid security and session management or a more capable remote access tool to raise your productivity to the nth degree, SecureCRT is an application you can live in all day long. Access your full array of network devices from one client with SSH, Telnet, Telnet/SSL, RLogin, serial, and TAPI protocols. A multi-session tabbed interface includes extensive session management and customization for named sessions and firewalls, toolbars, menus, fonts, cursors, and color schemes. Automate and streamline repetitive tasks using powerful scripting support, a built-in script recorder, multi-session launch, mapped keys, and a button bar for repeated commands. Rich emulation includes VT100, VT102, VT220, ANSI, SCO ANSI, Wyse 50/60, Xterm, and Linux console, with support for basic and host-based printing. Securely transfer files using SFTP, or by using Zmodem, Xmodem, or Ymodem from an SSH1 or SSH2 session. SecureCRT and the SecureFX file transfer client can share global and session options and the host key database so configuring a connection only needs to be done once. An optional "FIPS Mode" uses a FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic library and only allows FIPS-approved algorithms. SecureCRT includes a 30-day evaluation license for the fully-functional application and technical support.

6.2 has multi-session editing for fast changes to session settings and the option to remember and automatically connect to the sessions used the last time you ran SecureCRT. Version 6.2 helps you automate logging and use public-key and smart-card authentication. Also new is a native 64-bit version.
