VShell Secure Shell server replaces Telnet and FTP in your IT infrastructure by combining strong security with simple configuration on Windows and UNIX platforms. Armed with strong encryption, trusted authentication, and data integrity, you can confidently exchange electronic data over public networks. Access control lists (ACLs) and SFTP virtual directories equip administrators with fine-grained control to comply with internal and external security policies. "Triggers" can automate routine tasks, freeing valuable time for network professionals.
Support for FIPS 140-2: VShell Server for Windows can run in FIPS mode. If you need to protect data in transit as outlined by FIPS 140-2 or NIST 800-53, VShell now has an administrative option to run in "FIPS Mode". When this option is set, only FIPS-approved algorithms are allowed. VanDyke Software has partnered with RSA Security, Inc. to use the BSAFE Crypto-C Micro Edition cryptography module which has been tested by Atlan Laboratories, an accredited testing laboratory for FIPS compliance. This module has met all Level 1 requirements for FIPS 140-2 compliance when operated in FIPS mode.
Fine-tuned control for your server environments: VShell server offers a broad range of controls that help you configure your server environment to provide appropriate access and privileges to every user on your network. Virtual root directories allow you to control secure file transfer access on a user and group basis. Chroot users and groups and jail shell give you the means to restrict users' file system access and activities to their home directories. Access control lists provide an efficient and straightforward interface to allow or deny use of these services.
More choices for enterprise-wide authentication: You know that using passwords for authentication presents a number of security concerns. VShell allows you to choose from a number of trusted authentication mechanisms including public key, Kerberos, keyboard interactive, X.509 digital certificates, and RADIUS servers using SecurID to create a much more secure two-factor authentication strategy to control access to your network.
VShell editions match your needs and budget: VShell is available in three editions designed to meet the needs of every size network and organization. Whether you are the only one accessing a server for administrative tasks or you are providing remote access, secure file transfer, and data tunneling solutions for a large organization with multiple locations, there's a VShell edition that's just right for your needs. All VShell editions offer the same features but allow you to control costs by deciding how many concurrent connections you need.
VShell is available on the platforms you use in your organization: Choose from Windows, Linux, and a variety of *NIX platforms and offer a consistent set of services with the fine-tuned control and interoperability you expect from an advanced Secure Shell server like VShell.
What's new in Vshell version 3.6.3?

- UNIX: Only logs the "Logging to the BSM failed" message if debug logging is enabled.
Bug fixes:
- Windows: Public-key authentication could have failed for non-administrative users if VShell was running on a domain controller.
- Windows: A crash could have occured if an SFTP client sent file system requests prior to VShell loading the file system environment.
- VShell FTPS: Uploading multiple small files could have resulted in some of the files being truncated to zero bytes.
- vcp/vsftp: Files that began with "." were not transferred.
VShell uses a FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic library. VShell can be installed in "FIPS Mode", which allows only FIPS-approved algorithms.
