VanDyke ClientPack provides new vsftp commands including the ability to run vsftp commands from a file using a batch option (-b), a "detail" command that displays the system information for the specified file, a "view" command that allows you to easily look at the contents of a file on a remote machine, and a "su" command that allows you to become a different user if the remote server is VShell 3.5 or later. 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 command-line tool for uploading keys to the Secure Shell server

Key features:
• Wide range of authentication methods: All the VanDyke ClientPack applications support password, public-key (RSA, DSA, and Smart Cards using X.509), Kerberos v5 (via GSSAPI), and keyboard-interactive authentication when connecting to SSH2 servers. VSH supports connections to SSH1 servers using password, public-key, and TIS authentications.
• Extensive support for encryption ciphers: 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 bits length of DSA keys under SSH2 provides more secure encryption. For SSH1 servers, DES, 3DES, RC4, and Blowfish are supported.
• Secure Shell: Secure Shell encrypted logon and session data, including support for the following:
» vsh port forwarding secures TCP/IP data
» X11 forwarding
» FIPS Mode uses a validated cryptographic library and only allows approved algorithms
• File transfer utilities: vcp and vsftp command-line utilities secure file transfers using SFTP. A batch option in vsftp allows you to run a list of commands from a file.
