The VanDyke ClientPack 6.1 for Windows and UNIX

Many routine administration and configuration tasks can be automated, which saves time and reduces potential human error. Secure automation increases compliance with security policies and practices. Use the VanDyke ClientPack command-line utilities to securely automate your routine file transfer, shell, and public key administration tasks on a variety of Windows, Linux, and UNIX platforms.

VanDyke ClientPack 6.1 provides new vsftp commands including the ability to run vsftp commands from a file using a batch option (-b), a "detail" command that displays the system information for the specified file, a "view" command that allows you to easily look at the contents of a file on a remote machine, and a "su" command that allows you to become a different user if the remote server is VShell 3.5 or later.

The command-line utilities in the VanDyke ClientPack include:

  • vsftp: an interactive SFTP command-line utility providing quick, easy, and secure file transfer operations
  • vsh: a command-line shell utility
  • vcp: a command-line file transfer utility
  • vkeygen: a public/private key generator utility
  • vpka: a command-line tool for uploading keys to the Secure Shell server
The vcp command line utility

vcp uses SCP-like syntax for secure file transfers
from the command line.

New for Version 6.1

New vsftp commands:

  • Run vsftp commands from a file: Added a batch option (-b) to read in a list of commands from a file.
  • Get detailed information about a file in vsftp: Added a "detail" command that displays the system information for the specified file.
  • View file: A "view" command downloads the specified file and opens it in the default editor or appropriate application.
  • Substitute user: If the remote server is VShell 3.5 or later, there is a "su" command that allows you to become a different user.
