VanDyke ClientPack is a set of command-line utilities for securely automating file transfer, shell, and public-key administration tasks on Windows, Linux, and UNIX platforms. With the ClientPack, you can automate many routine administration and configuration tasks, saving time and reducing potential human error. Secure automation increases compliance with security policies and practices. The ClientPack command-line utilities 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; and vpka, a command-line tool for uploading keys to the Secure Shell server. 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. The vsh utility supports connections to SSH1 servers using password, public-key, and TIS authentications. Supported encryption ciphers include 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. The ClientPack provides Secure Shell encrypted logon and session data, including support for vsh port forwarding to secure TCP/IP data, X11 forwarding, a FIPS Mode that uses a validated cryptographic library and only allows approved algorithms, and vcp and vsftp command-line utilities for secure file transfers using SFTP. VanDyke ClientPack includes a 30-day evaluation license for the fully-functional application and technical support.
