- MindTerm v1.2 Features:
- -----------------------
-
- o Full xterm/vt102 terminal emulation including colors, line-draw graphics,
- mouse-support, and function keys. The following terminal-types are supported:
- xterm, linux, aixterm, scoansi, att6368, sun, vt220, vt100, ansi, vt52,
- xterm-color, linux-lat, at386, vt102.
-
- o Authentication with: password, rsa, rsa+rhosts, tis, rhosts, or
- sdi-token (server needs patch from ftp://ftp.parc.xerox.com/pub/jean/sshsdi/).
- Authentication can either be done using one single method, or it can be set to
- try a customized list of methods in a given order
-
- o Supports the following blockciphers: Blowfish, DES, 3DES, IDEA, RC4 (or no
- encryption)
-
- o Supports connection through proxytypes: HTTP, SOCKSv4, and SOCKSv5
-
- o Full support for ssh-tunneling including X11 forward.
-
- o Built in SCP client (with GUI) for simple file-transfer (can also be used
- stand-alone in command-line mode without GUI for use in scripts et.c.)
-
- o Can proxy ftp-connections fully, i.e. if an ftp-server is unreachable from
- outside a firewall and the only means of entering the firewall is through SSH,
- then MindTerm let's you access the ftp-server through SSH as easy as if it
- would be world-accessible.
-
- o Tunnels can listen on explicit local addresses, e.g. on a multi-homed
- host or if one wants to distinguish between 127.0.0.1 and the real host-
- address.
-
- o Handles arbitrary simultaneous sessions in different windows to different
- ssh-servers. Also lets user "clone" a terminal-window, automatically logging
- in if allready logged in from original window.
-
- o Can be set to keep ssh-connection alive would it be subject to timeout (either
- by a firewall or through the use of idle-timeout in the ssh-server)
-
- o Can automatically store settings on a per-host basis, user can also customize
- several sessions for a single host or make short-names for hosts.
-
- o Can save passwords along with settings in encrypted format with same strength
- as RSA private key protection (including possibility to use "empty" password).
- Using same password on all settings files gives very convenient way of working
- with multiple hosts.
-
- o Can share RSA-keys and 'known_hosts' file with the standard unix ssh-client.
-
- o Can capture console output to file and send file to console.
-
- o Lists all currently open connections through the tunnels, for example, giving
- the user the opportunity to close a tunnel for a program that have hung.
-
- o Can be used without a GUI from the command-line (much like the standard unix
- ssh-client), also able to run just a single command on the ssh-server and exit
- (optionally allocating a PTY)
-
- o Can work either as a "normal" ssh-client, i.e. as a stand-alone java
- application, OR as an applet from within a browser (see below).
-
- o Cryptographically signed binaries works with Netscape and MSIE browsers giving
- a full ssh-client with tunneling et.c. Unsigned applet can only connect back
- to same address as web-server and cannot do tunneling giving a simple telnet-
- replacement.
-
- o Signed applet can contain known_hosts file to prevent man-in-the-middle
- attacks without the need to store host's key on local disk.
-
- o Same binary runs on multiple platforms, e.g. x86/Linux, Sparc/Solaris, x86/
- Windows95/98/NT, ?/JavaStation, Arm/Epoc32. Additionally MindTerm works with
- Netscape, HotJava, Opera, and MS-IE browsers on most platforms.
-
- o The SSH-package can be used to easily ssh-enable ANY (java) application or
- applet using tcp-based communications (see MindVNC for an example).
