Key Benefits
Provide strong, multi-protocol security for data in transit. The Secure Shell (SSH2) protocol delivers proven, open-standard authentication, encryption, and data integrity that let you provide a wide range of services to your organization with confidence.
FTPS increases your protocol choices (including FTP for support of legacy devices).
The Enterprise edition with HTTPS allows users to transfer files easily using a web browser.
Control user access to features and files. VShell gives you extensive controls to manage privileges for shell, file transfer, and other services. Examples include access control lists and virtual root directories.
Set up and configure easily. VShell installs and runs right "out of the box". Windows setup and configuration is made easy by the graphical control panel.
Monitor and log events with automation support. VShell triggers help you track and respond to events like failed logon attempts and uploaded files. Event logging supports security monitoring and regulatory compliance.
Use connection-based licensing to your advantage. VShell Workgroup, and Enterprise editions allow cost-effective licensing from one user to thousands.
The Enterprise edition with HTTPS (Includes FTPS) reduces administrative overhead by eliminating the need to purchase, install, and maintain additional software for file transfer.
Our support program includes expert technical support and regular maintenance releases.
Here's what's new in VShell 4.9.1:
Vulnerability fix:
- SSH2: For some algorithms, an attacker can manipulate the packets sent during key exchange to cause some packets to be removed, which compromises channel integrity. A "Strict KEX" extension was implemented to address this vulnerability (CVE-2023-48795)
In order to use the "Strict KEX" extension, the extension must be supported by both the client and the server.
New feature:
- Windows: SFTP Virtual Roots can now be used to connect to an Azure Blob SFTP server.
Change:
- Windows: the Short Thread Pool Size maximum value has been increased to 2048, and the default (minimum) value increased to the larger of 16 or 4 times the number of logical processors.
Bug fix:
- Windows: When a user disconnects and that user's profile was not loaded during the initial connection, VShell will no longer attempt to enumerate network resources that may have been opened during profile loading, potentially causing a slowdown.
