“SSH Communications Security (SSH), the world-leading developer
of Internet security and developer of the Secure Shell standard,
today announced SSH(R) Secure Shell(TM) 2.1 for Windows, with fully
integrated secure file transfer functionality, advanced terminal
emulation and public key authentication support. With over three
million users in 80 countries, SSH Secure Shell is the recognized
de-facto standard for remote administration and secure file
transfers over the Internet. SSH Secure Shell for Windows supports
Windows 95, 98, NT, and 2000. SSH Secure Shell for Unix supports
Linux (including RedHat and SuSe), Sun Solaris, HP/UX, IBM AIX,
Compaq Unix, SGI IRIX, SCO Unix, FreeBSD, and many others.”

“Secure Shell encrypts all passwords and data transmitted over
the Internet. This protects Internet servers against the most
common break-in method used by hackers: stealing passwords from the
Internet.”

SSH Secure Shell, with the graphical file transfer
interface, is ideal for securely maintaining Web servers, Unix
servers, as well as for accessing corporate resources from home and
travel.
