Download SecureCRT 7.0

VanDyke Software has released 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 Mac OS X and since version 6.7.0 also one for Linux. The complete changelog for version 7.0, including the beta releases, is in this text file to find. Here are the main improvements in version 7.0:

New for SecureCRT 7.0:

• Tiling (Windows only): Compare multiple sessions or view output when sending commands to all sessions via the chat window. Sessions can be tiled vertically, horizontally, or cascaded.
• Built-in TFTP server: Automatically start the TFTP server when a session connects, then use TFTP to deploy firmware upgrades on network equipment, and backup or revert configurations on network devices.
• Improved Connect dialog performance: When a configuration is stored on a network location or contains a large number of sessions, the Connect dialog now loads significantly faster.
• “Skip” button: Skip authentication methods such as PublicKey or GSSAPI that might not be supported or configured on some systems.
• Update keychain password (Mac): SecureCRT now automatically updates changed passwords in the Mac Keychain.
• Button hover text: See what a button is mapped to without having to edit the button.
• Mappable functions: Map “Always on Top” to a key and map items on the “Tools” menu to either a button or key.
