========================================================================= F-Secure SSH 1.0.6 Beta (Windows) ========================================================================== F-Secure SSH 1.0.6 Beta is subject to the terms detailed in the Internet Beta license agreement accompanying it. Version 1.0.6 is feature complete and contains several new features: RSA user authentication, Strict Host Key Checking against a known_hosts database, an RSA key generation Wizard, On-Line Help, TCP/IP forwardings, and 3DES, Blowfish, and DES ciphers. Data Fellows has just made a major breakthrough in optimizing the Blowfish encryption algorithm. We have achieved 12-18Mbits per second encryption speeds in laboratory conditions. The release version of F-Secure SSH will use an optimized version of Blowfish, that will beta about 3-4 times faster that the non-optimized version in the Internet beta. For more information see section "Release Notes". F-Secure SSH Support Team has updated the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) database and the list of known bugs and issues. o http://www.Europe.DataFellows.com/f-secure/support/ You can also e-mail bugs and other feedback to: o F-Secure-Beta-Feedback@DataFellows.com ========================================================================== Installation Instructions ========================================================================== * Installation Before starting the F-Secure SSH installation process, close all running applications. 1. Insert the F-Secure SSH setup disk into the floppy disk drive. 2.If you're running Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0, choose Run from the Start menu. Otherwise, choose Run from the File menu. 3.Type "a:setup" and press Enter. If your floppy disk drive is associated to another drive letter, use that instead of "a:". 4.Follow the instructions of the setup program to install F-Secure SSH on your computer. The F-Secure SSH Wizard will be launched automatically after the setup to help you generate an RSA Identity. See section "Running F-Secure SSH" for more information on how to use F-Secure SSH. ========================================================================== Instructions for Users of Previous Alpha Versions ========================================================================== * Upgrading This version is not compatible with the previous F-Secure SSH file formats. Please delete all .SSH and SSH.INI files. We recommend using version 1.2.16 of the Non-commercial F-Secure SSH UNIX server during your testing and evaluation period on the remote UNIX machine. * Client-Server Issues The TCP/IP forwarding code works properly only with version 1.2.16. IDENTITY files are encrypted with 3DES, old servers that have been compiled to used IDEA have an incompatible IDENTITY file format. We recommend using version 1.2.16 ssh-keygen utility to update the IDEA encrypted IDENTITY file to 3DES encrypted format. This format is also compatible with the Windows version. We strongly recommend you to upgrade the UNIX server to version 1.2.16 for best performance and compatibility between the UNIX and Windows programs. ========================================================================== Running F-Secure SSH ========================================================================== * What do I need to run F-Secure SSH? You must have WINSOCK.DLL (version 1.1 or higher) installed on your Windows system, a Local Area Network or an Internet connection before you can use F-Secure SSH. To connect to a remote server the server must be running an F-Secure SSH Server for UNIX. This version is compatible with the version 1.2.14 and above. Blowfish block cipher only works with 1.2.16 and above. * Connecting to a Remote Host To connect to a remote computer using password authentication: 1. From the Edit menu, choose Properties. 2. In the Connection tab, type the name of the remote host you want to connect to, and the user name for your account. 3. From the options group select Password as your authentication type. 4. Choose the OK button. 5. Press Enter or from the File menu, choose connect. 6. Type in the password for you account to the Connect Using Password Authentication dialog box. 7. Choose the OK button to connect. If this is the first time you're connecting to the host, SSH may ask you to accept the host's previously unknown host key. NOTE: The quickest way to make the connection if your setting are correct is to press the Enter key on the empty terminal windows. This will bring up the connection dialog box immediately. * Getting Help See the SSH.HLP file for information on all F-Secure SSH Features by pressing the Help button on one of the F-Secure SSH dialog boxes. The SSH.HLP file contains installation instructions and a preliminary User's Guide. ========================================================================== Known Issues & Bugs ========================================================================== Known Issues - Line-draw characters are still missing. - On-Line help is not context sensitive. - Dialog layouts will be finalized after the beta release. Known Bugs - Scroll bar on the terminal window is not correctly initialized on some systems. After login the user is required to press the down arrow to once to initialize the Scroll bar. - Fast typing while waiting for a connect can cause F-Secure SSH to disconnect. - When resizing the terminal screen downwards then upwards, and cutting text, the cut point is off screen or misplaced. - Odd "underline type of" lines sometimes appear on the bottom of the screen and on the right hand side of the terminal window. ========================================================================== For More Information Contact ========================================================================== * For more information on the commercial version of F-Secure SSH contact one of the addresses below: Sales: F-Secure-SSH-Sales@DataFellows.com WWW: http://www.DataFellows.com/ http://www.Europe.DataFellows.com/ ========================================================================== Copyrights ========================================================================== * F-Secure SSH Copyright (c) 1996 Data Fellows Ltd.
