Running SecureFX from SecureCRT

SecureCRT


The 5.0 (or newer) release of SecureCRT supports the integration of its configuration settings with those of VanDyke Software's secure file transfer client SecureFX® (version 3.0 or newer). This makes it simpler to create and maintain sessions; set your options once and they are used by both programs.

To integrate SecureCRT with SecureFX, install both applications on the same machine then start SecureCRT. From SecureCRT, you can start SecureFX in several different ways, including the following:

·     Clicking on the SecureFX toolbar button.

·     Right-clicking on a tab and selecting the Start SecureFX option.

·     Selecting a SecureFX session from the Connect dialog.

·     Right-clicking on the Activator system tray icon and opening a SecureFX session.

You can also start SecureCRT from SecureFX if you prefer.

If you open the SecureCRT Global Options or Session Options dialogs, you will see options for both SecureCRT and SecureFX. From here, you can configure sessions for both applications.  

If you want to share your SecureCRT and SecureFX configuration settings and want to see both the terminal emulation and file transfer sessions in your SecureCRT Connect dialog, right-click on the Connect dialog and check the Show Transfer Sessions option.
