2008-03-20

• SSH core upgraded to PuTTY 0.60. It brings following changes:
  • Support for “local proxying”, where a network connection is replaced by a local command.
  • Various cryptographic improvements in SSH-2, including SDCTR cipher modes and a workaround for a weakness in CBC cipher modes. Support for Diffie-Hellman group exchange with SHA-256 was not included due to performance problems.
  • Support for the Arcfour cipher in SSH-2.
  • When Pageant is running and an SSH key is specified in the configuration, WinSCP will now only try Pageant authentication with that key. This gets round a problem where some servers would only allow a limited number of keys to be offered before disconnecting.
  • Support for SSH-2 password expiry mechanisms, and various other improvements and bugfixes in authentication.
  • A change to the SSH-2 password camouflage mechanism in 0.58 upset some Cisco servers, so we have reverted to the old method.
  • If authentication challenge includes multiple prompts, all are displayed in one form.
  • Random seed file is being stored to application data folder when possible.
  • Bug fix: SSH-1 connections tended to crash, particularly when using port forwarding.
  • Bug fix: SSH Tectia Server would reject SSH-2 tunnels from WinSCP due to a malformed request.
  • Bug fix: SSH-2 login banner messages were being dropped silently under some circumstances.

  • Preference of GSS key exchange algorithms can be configured on Key exchange tab of login dialog.
  • Session option Allow Kerberos 5 ticket forwarding in GSSAPI/SSPI obsoleted (was probably useless anyway).
  • Session option Server realm renamed to Service principal name.
• Added several switches to scripting commands to extend their capabilities with functionality available in GUI already:
  • -mirror and -criteria 59 for synchronize;
  • -delete for synchronize and keepuptodate (obsoletes option synchdelete);
  • -permissions, -nopermissions and -speed 109 for get, put, synchronize and keepuptodate;
  • -delete, -preservetime and -nopreservetime for get and put;
  • -timeout, -privatekey and -passive 132 for open.
• Added switch /hostkey to command-line and open script command to automatically accept host keys with given fingerprint.
• Environment variables can be used in scripting commands. The syntax is %NAME%. 76
• Command Duplicate can transfer files in between different opened sessions (via local temporary copy). It can also be used to duplicate the file within the session, if the protocol does not allow direct duplication. 127
• In file panel, file sorting by date and size is by default descending.
• Speed limit can be actually set in KiB/s.
• Speed limit can be set for background transfers.

• Change: Removed One file only editing mode.
• During resumable transfers, the destination file is not removed (if present) until the transfer actually finishes.
• When opening secondary shell session, startup actions like clearing of aliases, unsetting national variables and looking up user groups are not performed.
• For SCP protocol, listing command can be fully specified to overcome specifics of platform (this obsoletes former option Alias LS to display group name). 142
• New patterns for custom commands: !/ expands to current remote path, !@ expands to current session hostname. !u expands to username, !p expands to password. 48
• Escaping of special characters is reversed on upload. 32
• Custom FTP commands can be executed after login. 162

  • Support for multiple undoes and redo.
  • Tab size can be defined. 12
  • Improved toggling of word wrapping.
• Print command added to default custom command examples. 6

• When saving session with password, option is given not to store the password.
• Changed default local tunnel port number range to “IANA Dynamic and/or Private Ports range”. 173
• Change: Log file path patterns changed to match those of custom commands.
