Download SecureCRT 7.0.3

VanDyke Software has released an update for version 7.0 of SecureCRT. SecureCRT is, simply put, a extensive version of Putty. Slightly less simple, it is a client for remote control, file transfers and data tunneling using ssh. Ssh is a method of establishing a secure connection between two computers, in which both the data and part of the IP traffic is encrypted. Since version 6.6.0 there is also a version of SecureCRT for OS X and since version 6.7.0 also one for Linux. The changelog of this release shows the following changes and improvements:

Bug fixes:

• In the Connect dialog, if a folder was renamed to a string that ended in one or more “.” characters, the sessions in the folder were deleted.
• Opening the default session in a script caused SecureCRT to crash.
• If the “Automate logon” items for a session were re-ordered, the changes were not saved.
• If “/Serial” or “/Tapi” (Windows only) was specified on the command line, it was not honored.
• If a session that contained ANSI color text in the scrollback was disconnected and reconnected, the ANSI color attributes were no longer in the scrollback.
• When enough tabs were open to require the scroll control on the tab bar, if the right-most tab was activated and renamed, the tab bar shifted to the left and the active tab was no longer visible.
• Serial: The stop bits were not logged correctly in the trace output.
• SSH1/SSH2: If a session used a dynamic tunnel on port 10080 and another SSH1/SSH2 session went through the first session’s SOCKS proxy and used a dynamic tunnel on port 1080, SecureCRT crashed when data went through the second tunnel.
• Windows: When switching between tiled and tabbed sessions in a maximized window, the terminal area was 24×80 instead of the full window area.
• Windows: If the global option “Minimize to Activator in system tray” was set and SecureCRT was closed, if “Connect” was selected from the Activator menu, the icons in the Connect dialog were not mapped to the correct actions.
• Mac: The session option “Use ALT as meta key” was not always honored.
• Mac: If the global option “Host key database location” was changed to a different path, the new path was not saved.
• Mac: If a session prompted for a log file, after the file location was selected, focus did not return to the SecureCRT window.
