New in SecureFX® 6.1 |
 |
| Synchronize database |
Added support for saving, editing, and executing synchronize
operations, which makes it easier to keep multiple sites synchronized. |
| Use data from active sessions for synchronizing |
The Quick Synchronize and Synchronize dialogs optionally use the
paths from the active sessions for the synchronize operation, reducing
synchronize set up time. |
| Search for a specific session or session folder |
The Connect dialog supports searching for a session name, hostname,
folder name, or keyword in the description. |
| Save username and password with keyboard-interactive authentication |
The username and password can now be saved when using keyboard-interactive
authentication, streamlining the logon process. |
| More navigation options |
New context menu items support navigating back, forward, to the
parent folder, to the home folder, to the root folder, and to the
current folder in Explorer (local session only). |
| User authentication |
SecureFX supports password, public key (RSA and DSA), and Kerberos (via GSSAPI)
when connecting to SSH2 servers. |
| Public
Key Assistant |
Public Key Assistant allows easy and secure
upload of public keys to the server. |
| Data encryption |
Select from a wide selection of ciphers including: AES, Twofish,
Blowfish, 3DES, and RC4 to ensure strong data encryption.
|
| Data integrity |
Guarantee
the integrity of each message sent over the network (preventing replay
or insertion attacks). |
| Host identity verification |
Unique server host key proves its identity
to a client as a "known" host (preventing a man
in the middle attack). |
| X.509 certificate user authentication support |
Smart card-based public-key
authentication using X.509-compatible certificates supports highly
secure two-factor authentication. |
| GSSAPI support |
Support for GSSAPI secured key exchange for SSH2 connections. Mechanisms
supported depend on GSSAPI provider. Only the Kerberos v5 mechanism has
been tested. For SSH2 connections, the Server Principal Name (SPN) can
be specified in the GSSAPI Properties dialog.
|
| Multiple protocol support |
SecureFX supports SSH2 SFTP, FTP/SSL, and conventional FTP in a
single client, providing the maximum in flexibility when connecting
to a range of remote servers.
|
| Protocol updates |
Support for SFTP through version 6.
|
| Site synchronization |
Select local and remote folders, choose from upload, download,
and mirror options, then fine tune file selection in the synchronization
window. To save set up time, Quick Synchronize and Synchronize
dialogs optionally use paths from the active sessions for synchronize
operations. Multiple sites are easy to keep synchronized with
a synchronize database that supports saving, editing, and executing
synchronize operations. Quick synchronize mirror with delete automatically
deletes files or folders that are not on the source from the destination,
allowing you to exactly match the destination and source. This
is also supported in SFXCL.
|
| Multiple simultaneous connections and transfers |
Set up all of your connections and transfers in one
SecureFX application window — avoid cluttering your desktop |
| Complete upload control |
No surprise accidental overwrites of files on the remote
host with SecureFX's support to prompt on upload overwrites. |
| "Relentless" file transfer |
Automatically reconnect after a broken connection and
resume the transfer. |
| Resume file transfers |
Resumes transfer of one or more files — saves
time, especially with large files. |
| Move files |
Transfer and delete files in one step with the /Move
flag in the SFXCL command-line utility. Drag-and-drop move is also
supported by holding down the ALT key. |
| Transfer queue |
When connected to a host, you can now queue up files
to be transferred. Transfers are done serially, preventing errors
if the remote FTP server doesn't allow multiple connections. Drag
files to the transfer queue, resize the transfer queue window, and
hide or show columns. |
| FTP server support |
A wide range of FTP servers is supported by SecureFX including
MVS, VMS, NT, UNIX, and many others.
|
| SFTP ASCII file transfer option |
Text format files can be sent as raw text rather than
in binary format for more compatible transfers of files like HTML
and server logs between different operating systems. |
| Drag-and-drop from Windows Explorer |
SecureFX allows you to drag-and-drop files between a remote server
and your desktop, Windows Explorer, and other applications like
WinZip.
|
| Address bar |
An editable address bar shows the current path of the local or
remote session as well as a history of the most recently used paths,
allowing you to navigate easily between paths, type paths, or copy
and paste paths to and from the clipboard. |
| Windows Explorer look and feel |
Familiar interface that is easy to learn and navigate. |
| Supports Network Neighborhood |
Simple, easy-to-learn network file browsing and transfer. |
| Quick Connect |
Simple interface to connect with minimum setup; select
a protocol, enter a hostname and connect. Quick Connect dialog supports
SFTP and FTP. |
| New Session wizard |
Guided setup to create new sessions for FTP and SFTP
connections. |
| Minimal setup |
Ready to use as installed without configuration —
file types and sessions are already defined. |
| Integration with SecureCRT® |
SecureFX and SecureCRT
can share the global options, session options, and the host key
database so you only need to perform operations like setting application
defaults, sessions settings, or accepting a server's host key once.
SecureCRT and SecureFX can share passwords and passphrases while
either application or the Activator utility is running and both
SecureCRT and SecureFX sessions are displayed on the Activator menu.
Launch either application from a toolbar button and specify a session
to connect to. A combined installer is available that installs both
clients and their DLLs into the same folder, making it easy to install
SecureCRT and SecureFX and keep them in sync. |
| Activator session manager |
Activator will display all of your current SecureFX and SecureCRT
sessions in one handy menu. Activator also acts as an SSH agent
so that passphrases only have to be entered once per key as long
as Activator is running.
|
| Customize the toolbar and menu |
Support for dragging and dropping toolbar and menu
items, making it easy to modify the menu and toolbar to suit your
needs. |
| Support for U3 smart drives |
When installed to a U3 smart drive using the SecureFX U3 installer,
SecureFX saves configuration and settings to the U3 drive, making
it completely portable. |
| Firewall support |
A wide range of firewalls are supported, including
SOCKS4, SOCKS5, CSM, WinGate, WinProxy, and Raptor, unauthenticated
and basic HTTP proxy, and generic proxy. |
| Site organization |
Create custom sessions and organize them in the Connect
dialog in any order as well as alphabetically. Use friendly site
names, move sites anywhere in the site tree, and copy/paste site
definitions. |
| Busy site retry |
Automatically reconnects to sites that refuse an initial
connection because of too many users. |
| Quote commands |
Send server-specific commands beyond the standard
FTP set. |
| Keep-alive option |
Keeps connection busy when not in active use to prevent
it from being disconnected by a server. |
| Paste URL command |
Copy FTP addresses from an e-mail or a browser and
open the site in SecureFX. |
| Configurable sound notifications |
Assign sounds to play on connect, unexpected disconnect,
transfer complete, and error. SecureFX supports .wav sound files. |
| OpenSSH public and private key format support |
Generate keys in OpenSSH format or convert VanDyke
Software format private keys to OpenSSH format so that the same
keys can be used with other Secure Shell clients. |
| Enhanced host-key management |
Key management in SecureFX includes the ability to
view, import, and export host keys. |
| Remote file editing |
Right-click on any file on the remote site and open
it for editing. Optionally, the file being edited is uploaded to
the remote server each time the file is saved on the local machine. |
| Command-line support |
Automate routine secure file transfer operations with
batch scripts. Combined with public key-only authentication, it
is possible to automate secure, unattended file transfer processes.
SFXCL also supports deleting, renaming, moving, and listing files. |
| Change file permissions on server |
Change read/write/execute permissions as allowed by
logon. |
| Upload file permissions |
Specify file permissions for uploaded files. |
| Use environment variables in paths |
Use environment variables like APPDATA, TEMP, and
USERPROFILE in paths specified in SecureFX global and session options,
making it easier to move/copy settings to other machines and to
create configurations that will work for multiple users. |
| Resolve symbolic links |
Select this option to automatically resolve symbolic
links. |
| MSI installers |
MSI support allows you to distribute the applications through
your distributions server using Group Policy and to automate installs
through SMS or other install programs. |
| Autohide dot files |
With this option on, dot files such as .cshrc and
.login will not be displayed and will not clutter the file listing. |
| Default upload file permissions |
Whether you need to make sure only you can read your
files or make sure that the uploaded files are readable by the world,
you can define UMASK permissions for each site to get the needed
results. |
| Time zone configuration |
Set remote time zone manually for accurate time/date
comparisons between local and remote. |
| Filename conversion on upload |
Force filenames to lowercase or uppercase. |
| Enhanced file permission tools |
Ability to change permissions on multiple files at
once has been added. When connected to VShell® for Windows version
2.2 or higher, the Properties dialog for the remote file or folder
has a Security tab that allows ACL permissions to be viewed. |
| IPv6 support |
IPv6 addresses can be specified as session hostnames.

Section 508 Compliance |
|
| Rehabilitation Act Section 508
compliance |
In 1998, Congress amended the Rehabilitation
Act to require Federal agencies to make their electronic and information
technology accessible to people with disabilities. Inaccessible
technology interferes with an individual's ability to obtain and
use information quickly and easily. Section 508 was enacted to eliminate
barriers in information technology, to make available new opportunities
for people with disabilities, and to encourage development of technologies
that will help achieve these goals. SecureFX has been registered
as a compliant product at the Section
508 database. A Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT)
document detailing this compliance is available online in Microsoft
Word format.
