WinSSHD 5.01
WinSSHD provides secure remote login capabilities to Windows workstations and servers. Security is WinSSHD’s key feature: in contrast with Telnet and FTP servers, WinSSHD encrypts data during transmission. Thus, no one can sniff your password or see what files you are transferring when you access your computer through WinSSHD.
WinSSHD is ideal for remote administration of Windows servers; for advanced users who wish to access their home machine from work, or their work machine from home; as well as for a wide spectrum of advanced tasks, such as establishing a VPN using WinSSHD’s TCP/IP tunneling feature, or providing a secure file depository using WinSSHD’s SFTP.
Changes in WinSSHD 5.00: [ 25 August 2008 ]
- The WinSSHD terminal subsystem has been entirely rewritten, and now provides state-of-the-art terminal support with all terminal types. Now supports a wider variety of terminals, including ansi, cygwin, linux, scoansi, vt100, vt102, vt220, vt320, wyse50, wyse60, and xterm. When used with Tunnelier, bvterm will still be better in some aspects, but WinSSHD support for other terminals is now excellent, too.
- The WinSSHD SFTP and SCP subsystems have been entirely rewritten, and now provide consistent access to a single virtual filesystem with multiple configurable mount points. A modular provider interface allows pluggable virtual filesystem providers to be written by third parties, to fit in seamlessly with existing WinSSHD mount points.
- The WinSSHD Control Panel has been entirely rewritten, and now provides an interactive view of active SSH sessions, interactive control over WinSSHD IP blocking, support for multiple host keypairs and RSA keypairs, and better management of the password cache.
- WinSSHD now uses the fully FIPS 140-2 validated, DLL version of Crypto++, and runs it in FIPS mode. WinSSHD now also uses a pluggable crypto provider model, which allows another cryptographic library to be substituted for Crypto++ without modifying WinSSHD itself, simply by replacing a DLL.
- The SSH implementation has been entirely rewritten to implement a more flexible architecture and to untangle the SSH architecture from Crypto++. The new implementation is FlowSsh and is based on denis bider’s Flow architecture.
- WinSSHD can now be installed as a personal edition, which can be used free of charge by non-commercial, personal users, but limits access to organization-centric features:
- No more than 1 group entry and 10 account entries can be defined in WinSSHD Settings.
- Cannot login with domain accounts.
- No support for GSSAPI authentication.
