Private Shell SSH Client 2.1 Review
Private Shell is an easy to configure SSH client for Windows.
Autoconfiguration wizard helps you to setup basic and advanced SSH sessions. Even if you are not familiar with SSH, you can easily establish connections that use public key authentication and provide ssh tunneling for third-party applications (such as Oracle, MySQL, CVS, VNC, e-mal clients and other software).
Private Shell's default configuration allows you to connect to any SSH1 or SSH2 server in the most secure way by choosing the strongest encryption algorithms supported by a remote computer. Full support for ssh tunneling and X11 forwarding.
Use built-in Secure FTP client (SFTP client) to transfer files between computers securely.
Private Shell takes care to establish public key authentication, providing DSA or RSA key generation and key upload features. You can use the included key agent utility to cache decrypted private keys. Tokens are supported.
Use the power and flexibility of graphical user interface and speed of command line interface. Included ssh.exe and scp.exe provide command line interface for SSH client and SCP (Secure CoPy).
Change look and feel of terminal window. Do not entangle connections by setting different terminal color schemes for profiles.

Install Private Shell to a flash drive or even to a diskette to access remote computers from anywhere.
