Download SecureCRT 8.0.0

VanDyke Software has updated most programs in its range, including SecureCRT, to version 8.0. 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 are encrypted. SecureCRT is available for Windows, Linux, and OS X, and the price of a license starts at one hundred dollars.

• X.509 v3 keys can be added to the SSH agent and public keys can be exported in OpenSSH format and from PKCS #11 (Windows only)

New for SecureCRT 8.0:

• Tab groups (Windows only) make it easy to compare the output of two sessions and group related sessions in the same SecureCRT window.
