Command-Line Client Programs

Although SecureCRT is a graphical terminal program, it also comes with a few command-line programs very similar to the ssh, scp, and sftp programs supplied with OpenSSH and Tectia. They are called vsh, vcp, and vsftp.

vsh is a remote login and command-execution program similar to ssh. Type vsh by itself for full usage information. Here are some notable examples:

    # Log into server.example.com as smith
    C:\> vsh -l smith server.example.com

    # Invoke the remote command "who"
    C:\> vsh -l smith server.example.com who

vcp is a file-transfer program similar to scp: we discuss it in the next section. vsftp is an interactive file-transfer program similar to sftp and ftp.
