VShell Server

Secure alternative to Telnet and FTP on Windows and UNIX platforms VShell server for SSH2 provides secure access to Windows servers based on the Secure Shell client/server protocol. VShell Server can be used for system administration, secure network access and file transfer.

VShell Server provides access through an encrypted tunnel to e-mail, databases and other TCP/IP applications. Files can be transferred securely using SSH2 client SFTP and SCP commands.

What's New in This Release:

  • Added the ability to create a virtual directory structure for granting fine-tuned control to the UNIX directory structure with SFTP access
  • Support for keyboard-interactive authentication method allowing integration with PAM Password (for better password support) and to methods like SecurID and Radius
  • Wildcard and file globbing support for vsftp and vcp
  • Support for AIX 5.2
  • VShell can now execute triggers (to call a shell script) after a download file operation has completed


    Here are some key features of "VShell Server":
  • Expanded triggers capability - New triggers for Login, Logout, File Rename, File Delete, Folder Create, Folder Rename, and Folder Delete events to increase monitoring and automation capability.
  • SCP (RCP over SSH2) file transfers - SCP file transfers using clients operating as a secure RCP replacement that forwards a remote execution request to SCP over SSH2 (not SFTP). Honors settings for logging, ACLs, and SFTP roots.
  • VShellConfig export and import - Import and export configuration using VShellConfig to save time when backing up or moving VShell. Make backups of existing configurations and move configurations between machines.
  • Native 64-bit version for Microsoft Windows - Native 64-bit (x64) version for Microsoft Windows. Enables public-key-only authentication on the 64-bit platform
  • Multiple host keys - VShell server can support one host key per algorithm type.
  • Listen Addresses option - A new page for the VShell Control Pane allows you to edit a list of addresses and ports that VShell will listen on.
  • Control panel setting for maximum connections - Adding the maximum connections per user to the Control Panel makes it easier to limit the number of concurrent times a user can log on to VShell.
  • Option to automatically purge log files - Automatic purging of log files after specified number of days.
  • Multiple SFTP root directories - Allows you to provide discretionary file system access to users and groups beyond their home directories.
  • Access control - Grant discretionary access to services by authorized users or groups. On an individual or group basis, allow or deny access to VShell features such as shell, SFTP, and port forwarding.
  • VShell triggers - Triggers allow automated actions saving time and resources following SFTP uploads and downloads. After excessive failed logon attempts, initiate protective or corrective measures if it looks like a security problem is developing.
  • Trusted authentication methods - Choose from a number of trusted authentication mechanisms including public key, Kerberos, and X.509 *digital certificates to create a much more secure two-factor authentication strategy to control access to your network. (X.509 support is not available for Mac OSX and FreeBSD.)
  • RADIUS server support for SecurID authentication - VShell for Windows allows authentication through RADIUS servers using SecurID or other methods. RADIUS support is implemented through keyboard-interactive authentication.
  • Jail shell - Two configuration options, ChrootUsers and ChrootGroups, combine to restrict users and members of groups to their home directory with any shell, SFTP, or subsystem operation.
  • Command-line utilities - Reduce human error and automate routine tasks using command-line utilities: vsftp, interactive SFTP command-line utility providing quick, easy, and secure file transfer operations; vsh, command-line shell utility; vcp, command-line file transfer utility; and vkeygen, public/private key generator utility.
