Download SecureCRT 6.5.4

VanDyke Software released version 6.5.4 of SecureCRT on Tuesday. 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. Version 6.6 is also currently being worked on. This version, which will also be available for Mac OS X, is now in beta appeared. The changelog for version 6.5.4 does not show any new features, but only contains bug fixes.

Bug fixes:

• When multiple instances of SecureCRT were running, attempting to display a connection closed message could cause SecureCRT to crash.
• SecureCRT could lock up when a Send ASCII command was used to send a large file (eg, 100,000 lines).
• SecureCRT hung when attempting to open the Customize dialog if multiple instances of SecureCRT were running.
• In some cases, when characters with diacritics were pasted into a session using VT220 emulation, they were not displayed correctly.
• The way characters were clipped when they were displayed in the session affected the behavior of the JAWS screen reading software.
