Other improvements include Command window 'Send characters immediately' mode, host key fall back, and new TFTP server connection options. TN3270 emulation support expands the range of systems you can use with SecureCRT.

On all platforms, you can apply colors to button bar icons for easy-to-see visual cues. On Windows, tab groups allow you to compare the output of two sessions, group related sessions, and switch easily between them. SecureCRT 8.0 improves productivity with an updated UI and enhanced smart card (PIV/CAC) support. The sessions can be shared between these two applications, thus enabling the possibility to run FTP, SFTP and SCP transfers without the need to re-enter passwords. File transfers can be achieved via the integration with SecureFX. In addition, the application facilitates encrypted logons and provides flexible authentication options. SecureCRT features the most accessible user interface that we’ve seen in a terminal emulator, allowing you to create and customize up to five thousand tabbed sessions. Its list of capabilities includes secure transfers, highly configurable sessions and SSH encryption, to name the most important ones. SecureCRT is a GUI-based SSH / Telnet client and a terminal emulator that features support for a wide array of protocols such as SSH, TAPI, serial and rlogin.
