Good Afternoon, 

I am pleased to announce that the Secure FX 2.2.2 release effort has begun.
Secure FX 2.2.2 is the latest version of Van Dyke's secure file transfer
program. 

Secure FX allows users to securely transfer files to MIT (and other) servers
using the SSH2 protocol. This latest version of Secure FX includes the
ability to authenticate with Kerberos 5 tickets.

New Features and Improvements to Secure FX 2.2.2 include: 

-GSSAPI Support 
-Kerberos 5 Authentication
-Improved Integration with Secure CRT 
-Able to securely connect to MIT servers through a NAT box 
-Support for SFTP 4 
-Multifile Transfers: Support for resuming multiple-file transfers.
Previously, only the active file transfer was completed after the connection
was reestablished. All remaining files in the transfer list are now
completed 
-Enhanced File Permission Tools: Ability to change permissions on multiple
files at once has been added 

For a complete list of new features, please reference the Secure FX 2.2.2
