VanDyke ClientPack Description

A set of command-line utilities for securely automating your routine file transfer. Many routine administration and configuration tasks can be automated, which saves time and reduces potential human error. Secure automation increases compliance with security policies and practices. Use the VanDyke ClientPack command-line utilities to securely automate your routine file transfer, shell, and public key administration tasks on a variety of Windows, Linux, and UNIX platforms.The command-line utilities in the VanDyke ClientPack include:· vsftp: an interactive SFTP command-line utility providing quick, easy, and secure file transfer operations.· vsh: a command-line shell utility.· vcp: a command-line file transfer utility.· vkeygen: a public/private key generator utility.· vpka: a great command-line tool that allows you to upload keys to the Secure Shell server. Here are some key features of "VanDyke ClientPack": · The VanDyke ClientPack applications support 3DES, RC4, Blowfish, Twofish, AES-128, AES-192, and AES-256 ciphers when connecting to SSH2 servers. The maximum 2048-bit length of DSA keys under SSH2 provides more secure encryption. For SSH1 servers, DES, 3DES, RC4, and Blowfish are supported. · vcp and vsftp support SFTP through version 6. · The VanDyke ClientPack for Windows has an administrative option to run in "FIPS Mode". When this option is set, the VanDyke ClientPack applications use a FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic library and only allow FIPS-approved algorithms. · Agent forwarding support allows transparent authentication to multiple linked servers after the first SSH server has authenticated the user. · vsh allows you to tunnel common TCP/IP protocols (for example, POP3, IMAP4, HTTP, SMTP) to a remote Secure Shell server using a single, secure, multiplexed connection. · Dynamic port forwarding vsh provides dynamic port forwarding which simplifies how TCP/IP application data is routed through the Secure Shell connection. Instead of configuring port forwarding on a per-application basis in vsh, each application is configured to use a SOCKS server on a local host port. vsh opens a port on the local host and acts as a SOCKS server for any SOCKS-compatible application, even those that use multiple ports, such as FTP. · vsh allows you to encrypt X11 Windows sessions to secure remote X applications that are being displayed on the local PC. · Like rsh, vsh can be used to execute commands on a remote system. But unlike rsh, vsh provides secure encrypted communications over a nonsecure network. · Both SSH1 and SSH2 are supported in vsh, providing the maximum in flexibility when connecting to a range of remote servers. · vkeygen is a program that generates public and private keys with options to set the key length (in bits) and passphrase associated with the key pair. · vpka is a public-key assistant program which allows a user with no public key file on the server to upload a public key for use in authentication. vpka can also be used to define parameters for keys and to remove keys from the server. · vsftp can be used to create new directories locally and on the remote host. · vsftp can be used to rename files locally and on the remote host. · vsftp can be used to change read/write/execute permissions as allowed by logon. It can be used to specify file permissions for uploaded files. · vsftp can be used to display the remote directory listing of either the path or of the current directory if the path is not specified. If the -l flag is set, vsftp displays permission and ownership information. This command, if used with a / (i.e., ls /), lists the roots when connecting to a server such as VShell that allows multiple roots. · Both vsftp and vcp commands can be recursively applied to all subdirectories in a target directory. · Both vsftp and vcp commands can specify a path that contains the wildcard characters * and ?. vsftp will expand these wildcard characters. Multiple wildcard characters are permitted in a path (e.g., "*.*" or "*.?"). vsftp also supports file "globbing". The sequence will match any one of the characters enclosed. Within , a pair of characters separated by a quotation mark (") matches any character lexically between the two. The backslash can be used to turn off wildcard characters (e.g., * or New vsh option: · Reconnect automatically: New --autoreconnect flag supports automatically reconnecting after being disconnected from the server. New vsftp command flags: · Remove files and folders recursively: The rm command now supports the -r flag. · List hidden files or just folders: The ls and lls commands now support the flags -a (all) and -d (directories).
