Download SecureCRT 5.1.3

VanDyke Software yesterday updated SecureCRT to version 5.1.3. SecureCRT is a client for remote control, file transfer and data tunneling using SSH. This is a method of establishing a secure connection between two computers. Here, both the data and part of the IP traffic are encrypted with an encryption method. The changelog for this release shows the following changes:

changes:

• SSH1: Compression is now off by default.

bug fixes:

• Reduced the time it takes for the Connect dialog to display, which was noticeable on a network or USB drive.
• Running a script that modified the ANSI colors caused SecureCRT to crash.
• When CTRL+TAB was used to switch between tabs, the scrollbar had the position of the most recently active tab rather than the previous position for that tab.
• The keymap assignments changed when there were multiple tabs and a session in a tab other than the first tab was reset.
• It was not possible to specify a UNC path (Samba) for a log file as it was in versions prior to 5.0.
• In SecureCRT 5.1.2, it was not possible to disable “Send initial carriage return” in Logon Scripts as in previous versions.
• Upgrading to a newer version of SecureCRT did not remove the old entry in Add/Remove programs.
• SSH1: Under certain circumstances, SSH1 port forwarding ended abruptly.
• SSH1: When generating an RSA key for an SSH1 session, if the user did not have write permissions for the specified save folder, SecureCRT crashed.
• SSH1: The NO-OP anti-idle option caused random characters to be sent to Cisco ISR routers. The “Send protocol NO-OP” session option can now be turned off for SSH1 sessions.
• SSH1: It was not possible to specify the DES cipher from the command line for SSH1 sessions.
• VSFTP: If the “version” command was issued when VSFTP was not connected to a session, VSFTP crashed.
