Download SecureFX 6.2

In addition to SecureCRT, VanDyke Software also upgraded SecureFX to the same version number on Monday. This program gives the user an ssh2 channel on which files can be exchanged via sftp and ftp. Very useful for use in various automated environments where important plain text passwords are not allowed to be sent over a line. SecureFX not only has a user interface, but can also be used from the command line and, for example, in batch files. The following improvements have been made in this release:

Synchronization enhancement:

Filter files when doing synchronize operations: New filter support allows files to be included or excluded during a sychronize operation, which makes it possible to do things like exclude an .svn folder. Wild cards are supported.

New session management options:

Edit multiple sessions at the same time: The Connect dialog allows multiple sessions to be selected and then edited, making it easy to do things like change the passwords for a group of sessions.

Remember and connect to sessions from last use: A new option remembers which sessions were open the last time SecureFX ran and connects them automatically.

FTP related enhancements:

Use mutual authentication: Self-signed certificates can be generated and used with FTP/SSL.

Establish FTP or FTP/SSL data connections from behind a restrictive firewall: A new option allows the local ports to be limited to a specific range.

SSH2-related enhancements:

Use a smart card to authenticate: Support for PKCS #11 simplifies smart-card authentication.

Manage your keys: Agent support in the Activator allows keys to be explicitly added and removed.

New installer option:

64-bit Windows support: A native 64-bit version is available for x64 Windows platforms.
