This application provides strong security for a remote command shell, TCP/IP port forwarding or secure file transfer. It can provide secure remote access to file and mail servers for telecommuters, and secure extranets for sharing files with customers and partners.

System administrators and Webmasters can administer their servers securely from the local network or remote locations. This installs as a native Windows Control Panel and runs as a service in Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows XP.

This program comes in personal, workgroup and enterprise formats. Each format makes the application customizable, and each supports a different number of concurrent connections.

Note: Under U.S. and Canadian law, Tucows cannot make VShell available outside the U.S. and Canada due to U.S. and Canadian export restrictions; therefore, the download is not available directly from this site. VanDyke Software, Inc. makes the file available in all but a few countries.
