Download SecureCRT 6.7.3

VanDyke Software has released version 6.7.3 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 Mac OS X and since version 6.7.0 also for Linux. In version 6.7.3 the following changes and improvements have been made:

New features:

• Added support for Ubuntu Linux 11.10. 32-bit and 64-bit installers are available.
• Added support for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0. 32-bit and 64-bit installers are available.

Bug fixes:

• If the default session was edited and the changes were written to all sessions, the logon actions were set to the default for all SSH2 sessions regardless of whether or not the logon actions had been changed.
• If a script was running in a tabbed session and the tab was closed while the script was running, a script cancel error was reported.
• With the “Show confirm disconnect dialog” option on, if a script was running and “Disconnect” was selected from the menu or toolbar and then the disconnect operation was cancelled, the script was stopped anyway.
• Telnet: When CTRL+S was used to suspend output, the CPU usage went to 100%.
• Mac/Linux: If the Public Key Assistant was used to generate a DSA key in OpenSSH key format and then upload the key file, the file had 0644 permissions instead of 0600 permissions, which meant that OpenSSH refused to use it.
• Mac/Linux: If a license field, such as Name or Company Name, contained more than one line of text, the license was accepted, but could not be used when SecureCRT restarted.
• Mac: On a system that previously had SecureCRT installed, after upgrading to OS X Lion, SecureCRT could not save license information.
• Mac: On OS X Lion, the prompt for making SecureCRT the default Telnet application continued to be displayed when SecureCRT restarted after answering “Yes” to the prompt.
• Mac: With the “Autoreconnect” option on, when a session connected through a forwarded port established by another session and a local session was also connected, if the sessions became disconnected, they did not reconnect automatically.
• Linux: After exiting a local shell session, an I/O error was reported.
• Linux: It was not possible to store passwords using the Password Properties dialog.
