New Features

This version of SSH Secure Shell for Workstation Windows client contains several new features and enhancements.

Some of the most notable new features are the following:

  • Advanced authentication method configuration

    Any combination of available authentication methods can now be selected. Also the exact order of the methods can be configured.

  • Banner message support

    The client can display a message before logging on an SSH server.

  • Command line options

    Host, user name and port definitions can be passed as command line options to the Windows client.

  • Command line tools

    Separate command line versions of SCP2, SSH2 and SFTP2 are available.

  • Customization

    Toolbars, menus and shorcut menus can be customized freely.

  • DES support

    If desired, also the DES legacy cipher can be used (but the client issues a warning about this).

  • FTP forwarding

    FTP connections can now be securely forwarded.

  • Key import/export

    User key pairs and host public keys can be imported and exported from/to any location on disk.

  • Profiles

    Different host settings can be saved as profiles. This makes it extremely fast and easy to connect to hosts requiring different connection settings.

  • Quick Connect option

    The Quick Connect button allows fast access to a new connection.

  • SecurID support

    SecurID authentication is now supported.

  • SSH1 forwarding

    Also SSH1 connections can now be forwarded.

  • Terminal answerback string

    The answerback string for different terminals (such as ansi, vt100, vt220, vt320 and xterm) can now be selected.

  • Tunneling only option

    The client can be configured to disable terminal connections, allowing only tunnels to be used.

  • Various bug fixes

    This version also contains fixes for various minor bugs found on previous releases.
