SSH1 Connections

From SSH Secure Shell for Workstations Windows client version 2.2.1 onwards, you can connect also to SSH 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 SSH protocol.

SSH version 2 (ssh2) is a more advanced and secure protocol than the legacy version ssh1. For more information on using an ssh1 connection, see the SSH web site http://www.ssh.com/products/ssh/ssh1.html.

Note that when using an ssh1 connection, multiple terminal windows and the file transfer operations are not available.

  • Allow

    Select this option to allow also ssh1 connections.

  • Warn

    Select this option to issue a notice when an ssh1 connection is made.

  • 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.
