Introduction

Xshell is a powerful secure terminal simulation software that supports SSH1, SSH2, and the TELNET protocol on the Microsoft Windows platform. Xshell provides secure connections from the internet to remote hosts, as well as its innovative design and features, to help users enjoy their work in complex network environments.

Xshell can be used to access servers in different remote systems under the Windows interface, thus achieving the goal of remote control of terminals. In addition, it also has a variety of exterior color schemes and style choices.

Features

Comparison between Xshell and SecureCRT：

Screen does not flash and can be rolled back, which is a relatively user-friendly feature. The execution order of the script can be adjusted, and the feature of SecureCRT is relatively rigid. However, it can send instructions to multiple sessions simultaneously, which is a better feature. The compatibility of keyboard mapping is relatively good, and there is no need to modify the mapping yourself. It can display tunnel and other features. Supports layout switching, such as gnome terminal. The regret is that the support for Unicode tabs is not good enough, and the built-in sftp is not very in line with users' operating habits (the company has another xftp).

Comparison between XShell and Putty&Piety:

Support for the ZModem protocol. Although putty is said to be implemented with Leputty, the session is saved in a file instead of a registry, making it easy to manage. Support for tabs, custom scripts, password saving, and multi machine management... putty is free software and not very suitable compared to commercial XShells. Putty also has many plugins that can implement some flawed features. Personally, I still focus on Putty as the main feature, with sufficient functionality and fast speed. The management of a large number of machines is still suitable for XShell.

New features in XShell:

1. Effectively protecting information security

Xshell supports various security features such as the SSH1/SSH2 protocol, password, and user authentication methods for DSA and RSA public keys, as well as various encryption algorithms for encrypting all traffic. It is important to maintain your data security and built-in Xshell security features, as traditional connection protocols such as Telnet and Rlogin can easily make your network traffic vulnerable to theft by anyone with network knowledge. Xshell will help you protect your data from hacker attacks.

2. Best End User Experience

End users need to frequently use multiple terminal sessions at any given time, compare terminal outputs with different hosts, or send the same set of commands to different hosts. Xshell can solve these problems. In addition, there are user-friendly features such as label environment, wide window splitting, synchronous input, and session management, which can save you time doing other tasks.

3. Replacing Unsecure Telnet Clients

Xshell supports VT100, vt220, vt320, xterm, Linux, scoansi, and ANSI terminal emulation and provides various terminal appearance options to replace traditional Telnet clients.

4. Xshell implements multilingualism on a single screen

UTF-8 in Xshell is the first to be used in similar terminal software. With Xshell, multiple languages can be displayed on one screen without the need to switch between different language encodings. More and more enterprises need to use UTF-8 format databases and applications, and the demand for a terminal simulator that supports UTF-8 encoding is constantly increasing. Xshell can help you handle multilingual environments.

5. X11 and any TCP/IP applications that support secure connections

In the SSH tunneling mechanism, Xshell supports port forwarding function without modifying any programs, and it can enable all TCP/IP applications to share a secure connection.
