  • Bug fixes:
  • When the latest version of SecureFX was installed, running "Check for Updates" or "Update Now" incorrectly reported that an update was available.

New in SecureFX 8.5.0 Build 1740 (Aug 28, 2018)

  • Bug fixes:
  • SecureFX crashed if an SCP session was closed immediately following an initial "cd" exec request.
  • SecureFX could crash if a new folder was created in the Session Manager or Connect dialog and there was at least one other folder under "Sessions" and then sorting was changed to manual arrangement and a session was dragged to be between the "Session" folder and the top folder.

New in SecureFX 8.5.0 Build 1724 Beta 4 (Aug 9, 2018)

  • The file listing for a remote system could be very slow when the folder contained many subfolders (over 10,000).
  • Pressing ENTER on the ".." folder no longer went up one level.

  • Windows: Added an Administrative Policy option to disconnect sessions authenticated using CAPI/PKCS#11 when the corresponding smart card is removed.
  • Mac: Added an "Update Now" menu item to see if a new version of SecureFX is available and if there is, clicking a button downloads and installs it.

  • SSH2: The trace output shows the SHA-2 host key fingerprint as base64 in addition to hexadecimal.
  • The username used for authentication is now logged in the trace output.
  • SecureFX uses a templated path, which gets modified to an appropriate path on each platform, for the global option "Log File V2".
  • If SecureFX is launched using the -F command-line parameter or is on a USB drive, the actual configuration path being used is shown in the Global Options dialog.

  • When uploading a file to a Cisco iOS device, a prompt was displayed if the file did not exist in the target folder.
  • File transfers to a Cisco ASR9K router using SCP failed because SecureFX sent an extra "cd" command, which made the wrong directory the current directory.
  • The transfer queue displayed "Could not retrieve error text for error code 0xe000001c" when an upload failed due to a disk space error.
  • A session that contained spaces could not be connected from the Connect bar using the /S flag.

  • If an application had been installed and then uncleanly uninstalled, SecureCRT crashed on startup.
  • Mac/Linux: If the SecureFX window was repositioned, when it restarted, it was not in the correct position.
  • Mac/Linux: The CTRL+F4 accelerator did not close the active tab.

New in SecureFX 7.1 Beta 4 (May 3, 2013)

  • Changes:
  • Improved the look of the toolbar icons on the Retina display.
  • Bug fixes:
  • SecureFX could crash if a transfer was in progress when the
  • session's connection was lost (e.g., the remote system went down).

  • disabled if an upload was in progress.

New in SecureFX 7.1 Beta 2 (May 3, 2013)

  • Changes:
  • Added support for the keyboard shortcut COMMAND+O to open the
  • highlighted file or folder.
  • The Local window and Local Synchronize window get updated
  • during download operations.
  • Bug fixes:
  • Dependent session firewalls only worked when SecureFX was integrated
  • with SecureCRT.
  • The authentication prompt was displayed every time a host
  • disconnected and reconnected, which resulted in multiple
  • authentication prompts being displayed when authentication timed
  • out.
  • When SecureFX was integrated with SecureCRT, if a dependent
  • session firewall was specified and then the session protocol
  • was changed, the firewall field did not get updated on the
  • protocol page.
  • Mac/Linux: The Connect and Synchronize toolbar buttons had the same
  • icon.

New in SecureFX 7.1 Beta 1 (May 3, 2013)

  • New features:
  • SecureFX is now available for Mac OS X and Ubuntu and Red Hat
  • Enterprise Linux. The Mac and Linux version provides functionality
  • comparable to the Windows version, including multiple protocols such
  • as SFTP, SCP, FTP over SSL, and FTP, as well as advanced features
  • like site synchronization and the ability to recover interrupted
  • transfers easily. Integration with SecureCRT is also supported.
  • Added support for dependent sessions so that a connection can
  • be made to a jump host or SSH gateway before the session is
  • connected.
  • SSH2 on Windows: Added support for SHA1 in RSA signatures, which
  • allows X.509 certificates to be used in FIPS mode and other
  • settings where MD5 cannot be used.
  • Changes:
  • The limit on parallel transfers has been adjusted so that it's
  • possible to have more than eight.
  • Bug fixes:
  • If a time change occurred (e.g., daylight savings time) while a
  • synchronize operation was active, the file status information was
  • incorrect.
  • On a remote system that hides file extensions, if a file was renamed,
  • the file extension was removed.
  • The log file did not report the correct directory when an open
  • directory failed.
  • UTF-8 encoded characters were not displayed properly in the
  • SecureFX log.
  • SecureFX displayed garbage characters for the session name in the
  • log when the recently used session list was used to connect to the
  • session.
  • In the "Connect" dialog, if a new folder was given the same name as
  • an existing folder except for different capitalization, after
  • exiting and restarting SecureFX, both folders were gone.
  • It was possible to add a blank file type.
  • SCP: If a directory had more than nine links, it was not displayed in
  • the file list.
