Terminal emulator for professional users with a range of protocols including rlogin, SSH, Telnet and possibility of secure transfers.
SecureCRT is a graphical SSH and Telnet client with terminal emulation that can connect to a variety of systems with different protocols.
With this utility, you can connect via SSH, rlogin, telnet, TAPI and more. Importantly, SecureCRT supports all of the most common encryption algorithms with full configuration.
Emulate various systems
SecureCRT has all the features of a Telnet client, including automatic logins, session naming to hold different preferences for different hosts, printing functions, color selection, and excellent VT100, VT102, VT220, Xterm and ANSI emulation.
Secure file transfer is supported using Zmodem. Use SSH and Telnet with SOCKS protection systems.
Tab groups allow you to compare the output of two sessions and the sessions related to groups in the same SecureCRT window so you can do more in less time. You can organize sessions in tabs and easily switch between them. Or you can work in one tab while monitoring the output of a command in another tab, and then return to a single group of tabs when the command is complete.
Some alternatives
Based on the fact that SecureCRT utilizes a lot of features and functionality of open source software, there are some free alternatives available ranging from the most popular program called PuTTY or Tera Term. Vandyke offers this particular program as a paid option.
