Press Release Body = The 3.0 release of the VShell Secure Shell server adds new
automation triggers, SCP support, XML configuration import and export, and support
for 64-bit Windows 2003

Albuquerque, N.M. (June 26, 2007) -- For time-strapped network administrators
working to secure their networks, the VShell 3.0 server from VanDyke Software®, Inc.
offers new ways to automate routine administrative tasks with expanded triggers and
configuration options.

"We're continually working to enhance VShell's capabilities with features that help
administrators save time," said Jeff P. Van Dyke, President of VanDyke Software.
"VShell 3.0 increases the number of trigger conditions that can be set on the server
and allows processes to be batched. For example, if end users or admins are
transferring a large number of files to a VShell server in the DMZ, you can set up a
trigger that, on user logout, calls a script -- in this case you might want to scan
the uploaded files with a virus checker, move the files to an internal network, and
then log the event to an SQL server for reporting or auditing. This kind of
automation can save an administrator a lot of time."

VShell 3.0 also introduces built-in SCP support, allowing administrators to grant
users limited file transfer access to a server or to schedule unattended file
transfers. VShell's built-in SCP implementation honors settings for logging, access
control lists (ACLs), and VShell's virtual root directories.

With the configuration import/export capability in the Windows version, existing
server configurations can be backed-up in XML format and then cloned, edited, or
moved to other machines. Other new features include a native 64-bit version of
VShell providing full support for public-key-only authentication on Windows XP x64
machines, and support for Windows Vista.

The VShell Secure Shell server replaces Telnet and FTP for secure network
administration and end-user access on Windows and UNIX platforms. Precision control
over privileges, the ability to fine-tune your Secure Shell environment, and a wide
selection of strong authentication methods give you a flexible solution that grows
with your evolving security policies. VanDyke Software also develops client
applications for use with VShell and other Secure Shell servers. SecureCRT® is the
tool of choice for IT professionals who are responsible for network administration
and end-user access where security is critical, combining a feature-filled terminal
emulator with the security of the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol. SecureFX® is a
versatile file transfer application that supports SFTP, FTP over SSL, as well as
standard FTP.
