SecureCRT is a commercial SSH and Telnet client and terminal emulator by VanDyke Software. Originally a Windows product, VanDyke later added a Mac OS X version in 2010 with release v6.6[3][4] and a Linux version in 2011 with release v6.7.[5]
SecureCRT is a GUI-based telnet client and terminal emulator originally called CRT. It was first released in the autumn of 1995 by VanDyke Software.[6][7] Originally released as a premium version of CRT with support for SSH encryption, SecureCRT later absorbed the CRT product entirely. The program is part of a line of networking software which includes SecureFX, a file transfer client with SSL capability, and VShell, an SSH server.
SecureCRT and SecureFX can be started from within each other and use a combined host information list. A separately-sold pack of command-line tools (e.g., scp, modeled after the Unix command of the same name) for use with VShell is also sold by the company. All offerings are commercialware.
SecureCRT runs on Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10 and Windows 11. It also runs on the Windows Server series of operating systems.[10] For Windows Vista and later, a 64-bit version is available for download.
SecureCRT is also available for Mac OS X[3][11] and Linux Ubuntu.
SecureCRT is developed in New Mexico, and is therefore subject to United States export restrictions.
