Session Options/Connection/Telnet/SSL
From SecureCRT
Telnet is a protocol that provides an interface for communications between clients and servers.
A data path or circuit between two computers over a phone line, network cable, or other means.
SSL is an acronym for the Secure Sockets Layer, a cryptographic communications protocol used to encrypt network traffic over the internet.
A computer or application that uses services provided by a server.
A computer program that provides services to other computer programs (called clients). Often the computer on which a server program runs is also called a server. The term host is often used as a synonym for server.
Connection
/ Telnet/SSL
The Telnet/SSL category of the Session Options
dialog allows you to further configure your Telnetconnection
over the cryptographic communications protocol SSL.
The Telnet/SSL category only appears when you have selected
Telnet/SSL as your Protocol.

Advanced group
Will LFLOW
Select this option to enable local flow control when connecting to Telnet sites that support LFLOW. This option is selected by default.
Enable NAWS
Select this option to enable the Negotiate About Window Size (NAWS) feature. NAWS allows a Telnet client and a Telnet server to negotiate resizing the terminal window.
Note: NAWS may not be applicable to all systems.
Force character at a time mode
Select this option to force SecureCRT to be in "character at a time" Telnet mode. This option may be required in rare cases where Telnet negotiation between the client and server does not occur correctly.
WARNING: For most users, this option should not be selected.
Send SGA (port 992 only)
Select this option to initiate Telnet negotiation by sending the Telnet SGA command. Most Telnet servers expect this from the Telnet client.
WARNING: For most users, this option should be selected.
Send SGA
Select this option to send the DO SGA command immediately after connecting.
SSL group
Disable certificate validation
