Download SecureCRT 7.1.3

VanDyke Software recently released version 7.1.3 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. SecureCRT is available for Windows, Linux, and OS X, and a license costs $100. In version 7.1.3 the following changes and improvements have been made:

Changes:

• Windows: The answer file now honors the setting not to install the Telnet or Raw protocols.

Bug fixes:

• SecureCRT could crash if it was running inside an embedded window in Remote Desktop Manager and the RDM tab was closed.
• If a session was scrolled back so that older output was shown and Print Screen was selected, the most recent output was printed.
• When a firewall was specified on the command line or in a script, if the session reconnected, the specified firewall was not used.
• The scripting function SetOption(“Cols”, nCols) failed to set the columns to specified value.
• The scripting function ActivePrinter failed to set the active printer.
• When tiled sessions were being used, the accelerators for “Port” and “Open in a tiled window” in the Quick Connect dialog were the same.
• SSH2: If a session was closed before public-key authentication completed, SecureCRT could crash.
• Mac: When text was pasted into a session, it was sometimes doubled or tripled.
• Mac: If the option “Ignore window title change requests” was set and a tabbed session whose title had been changed was moved between windows, the title bar was reset to the default title.
• Mac: If a previous version of SecureCRT 7.1 had been installed in a location other than Applications and a newer version of 7.1 was installed, the Help file could not be loaded.
• Mac: The Session Wizard dialog was missing the wizard image.
• Mac/Linux: SecureCRT crashed when attempting public-key authentication if the key was larger than 2048 bits.
• Linux: On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, the font specified in the session options was not being honored.
