Session Tabs
SecureCRT allows you to display multiple sessions either in separate application windows or in one window using session tabs. You turn on tabs by selecting the Session Tabs option on the View menu or by enabling the Show session tabs option on the Global Options/Terminal/Appearance dialog.
When session tabs are enabled, a separate tab will be displayed for each open session. To display a new session tab, click on the Connect in Tab/Tile toolbar button or open the File menu and select Connect in Tab/Tile.... This will open the Connect in Tab/Tile dialog allowing you to select from a list of your existing sessions.
Note: You can still open sessions in separate windows by using the Connect button to start other sessions.
Tabs can be moved using drag-and-drop operations and can be closed by pressing CTRL+F4.
Tabs can be renamed by right-clicking on the name on the session tab and selecting Rename. The name change remains in effect until the tab is reused or until SecureCRT exits.
You can also "clone" a tabbed session by right-clicking on the session and selecting the Clone Session option or by opening the File menu and selecting the Clone Session option. This will create a session that is identical to the current session. If the original session is using the SSH2 protocol, the transport is shared and re-authentication is not needed. For other protocols, authentication is required.
When working with tabs, the first session always dictates geometry and font choices of the other sessions regardless of the actual settings for size and font in the other sessions. Tabs are automatically sized if they do not fit in the SecureCRT window.
SFTP sessions
If you have an SSH2 session open, you can also open an SSH file transfer protocol (SFTP) session using the same transport as the current SSH2 session. To do this, open the SecureCRT File menu and select the Connect SFTP Session option (you can also access this option from the right-click context menu). This will open a new tab or tiled session with a SFTP command line.
Drag-and-drop transfers are supported in the SFTP tab. Single or multiple files can be dragged from Microsoft Explorer (or other OLE-enabled applications) into the SFTP tab, which cause a put command to be issued for the file(s).
SecureCRT also supports tab completion of command arguments on the SFTP command line. Begin typing a command and argument and then press the TAB key. SecureCRT will attempt to complete the argument(s) based on the available choices. If there are multiple choices, SecureCRT will display a list of possible options. You can choose from this list or continue typing until SecureCRT can identify the unique argument.
See SFTP Command-Line Options for a complete listing of available options.
