SSH1 Connections

From SSH Secure Shell for Workstations (SSH Secure Shell) version 2.2.1 onwards, you can connect also to Secure Shell version 1 (SSH1) servers. With the SSH1 Connections selection you can decide if you want to allow SSH1 connections, deny them, or issue a warning when connecting to a remote host computer that is using version 1 of the Secure Shell protocol.

Secure Shell version 2 (SSH2) is a more advanced and secure protocol than the legacy version SSH1. For more information on the status of the SSH1 protocol, see the SSH web site http://www.ssh.com/company/newsroom/article/210/.

Note that when using an SSH1 connection, multiple terminal windows and the file transfer operations are not available.

• Warn

• Deny

  Select this option to disallow SSH1 connections.

• Disable password length masking in SSH1 connections

  Select this check box to not use password length masking when logging in using the SSH1 protocol.
