SecureCRT

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.{{cite web|url=http://www.vandyke.com/aboutus/company/index.html|title=Company Background|website=Vandyke.com|accessdate=June 13, 2017}}{{cite web|url=http://groups.google.com/group/comp.os.ms-windows.nt.misc/browse_thread/thread/96888f83468a17cf/cc77e0831f193e1?q=vandyke+crt+1.0+%22CRT+1.0%22#0cc77e0831f193e1|title=ANNOUNCE: CRT 1.0B4, 32-bit telnet w/ZModem download support|first=Jeff P.|last=Van Dyke|date=October 4, 1995|website=Groups.google.com|accessdate=June 13, 2017}} 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.
