| 1 | MindTerm v1.2 Features:
|
|---|
| 2 | -----------------------
|
|---|
| 3 |
|
|---|
| 4 | o Full xterm/vt102 terminal emulation including colors, line-draw graphics,
|
|---|
| 5 | mouse-support, and function keys. The following terminal-types are supported:
|
|---|
| 6 | xterm, linux, aixterm, scoansi, att6368, sun, vt220, vt100, ansi, vt52,
|
|---|
| 7 | xterm-color, linux-lat, at386, vt102.
|
|---|
| 8 |
|
|---|
| 9 | o Authentication with: password, rsa, rsa+rhosts, tis, rhosts, or
|
|---|
| 10 | sdi-token (server needs patch from ftp://ftp.parc.xerox.com/pub/jean/sshsdi/).
|
|---|
| 11 | Authentication can either be done using one single method, or it can be set to
|
|---|
| 12 | try a customized list of methods in a given order
|
|---|
| 13 |
|
|---|
| 14 | o Supports the following blockciphers: Blowfish, DES, 3DES, IDEA, RC4 (or no
|
|---|
| 15 | encryption)
|
|---|
| 16 |
|
|---|
| 17 | o Supports connection through proxytypes: HTTP, SOCKSv4, and SOCKSv5
|
|---|
| 18 |
|
|---|
| 19 | o Full support for ssh-tunneling including X11 forward.
|
|---|
| 20 |
|
|---|
| 21 | o Built in SCP client (with GUI) for simple file-transfer. The file-transfer
|
|---|
| 22 | continues independently from the logged in shell where it was started (can
|
|---|
| 23 | also be used stand-alone in command-line mode without GUI for use in scripts
|
|---|
| 24 | et.c.)
|
|---|
| 25 |
|
|---|
| 26 | o Can proxy ftp-connections fully, i.e. if an ftp-server is unreachable from
|
|---|
| 27 | outside a firewall and the only means of entering the firewall is through SSH,
|
|---|
| 28 | then MindTerm let's you access the ftp-server through SSH as easy as if it
|
|---|
| 29 | would be world-accessible.
|
|---|
| 30 |
|
|---|
| 31 | o Tunnels can listen on explicit local addresses, e.g. on a multi-homed
|
|---|
| 32 | host or if one wants to distinguish between 127.0.0.1 and the real host-
|
|---|
| 33 | address.
|
|---|
| 34 |
|
|---|
| 35 | o Handles arbitrary simultaneous sessions in different windows to different
|
|---|
| 36 | ssh-servers. Also lets user "clone" a terminal-window, automatically logging
|
|---|
| 37 | in if allready logged in from original window.
|
|---|
| 38 |
|
|---|
| 39 | o Can be set to keep ssh-connection alive would it be subject to timeout (either
|
|---|
| 40 | by a firewall or through the use of idle-timeout in the ssh-server)
|
|---|
| 41 |
|
|---|
| 42 | o Can automatically store settings on a per-host basis, user can also customize
|
|---|
| 43 | several sessions for a single host or make short-names for hosts.
|
|---|
| 44 |
|
|---|
| 45 | o Can save passwords along with settings in encrypted format with same strength
|
|---|
| 46 | as RSA private key protection (including possibility to use "empty" password).
|
|---|
| 47 | Using same password on all settings files gives very convenient way of working
|
|---|
| 48 | with multiple hosts.
|
|---|
| 49 |
|
|---|
| 50 | o Can share RSA-keys and 'known_hosts' file with the standard unix ssh-client.
|
|---|
| 51 |
|
|---|
| 52 | o Can capture console output to file and send file to console.
|
|---|
| 53 |
|
|---|
| 54 | o Lists all currently open connections through the tunnels, for example, giving
|
|---|
| 55 | the user the opportunity to close a tunnel for a program that have hung.
|
|---|
| 56 |
|
|---|
| 57 | o Can be used without a GUI from the command-line (much like the standard unix
|
|---|
| 58 | ssh-client), also able to run just a single command on the ssh-server and exit
|
|---|
| 59 | (optionally allocating a PTY)
|
|---|
| 60 |
|
|---|
| 61 | o Can work either as a "normal" ssh-client, i.e. as a stand-alone java
|
|---|
| 62 | application, OR as an applet from within a browser (see below).
|
|---|
| 63 |
|
|---|
| 64 | o Cryptographically signed binaries works with Netscape and MSIE browsers giving
|
|---|
| 65 | a full ssh-client with tunneling et.c. Unsigned applet can only connect back
|
|---|
| 66 | to same address as web-server and cannot do tunneling giving a simple telnet-
|
|---|
| 67 | replacement.
|
|---|
| 68 |
|
|---|
| 69 | o Signed applet can contain known_hosts file to prevent man-in-the-middle
|
|---|
| 70 | attacks without the need to store host's key on local disk.
|
|---|
| 71 |
|
|---|
| 72 | o Same binary runs on multiple platforms, e.g. x86/Linux, Sparc/Solaris, x86/
|
|---|
| 73 | Windows95/98/NT, ?/JavaStation, Arm/Epoc32. Additionally MindTerm works with
|
|---|
| 74 | Netscape, HotJava, Opera, and MS-IE browsers on most platforms.
|
|---|
| 75 |
|
|---|
| 76 | o The SSH-package can be used to easily ssh-enable ANY (java) application or
|
|---|
| 77 | applet using tcp-based communications (see MindVNC for an example).
|
