Support for Elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange (ECDH)

By Monday January 11th, 2016Uncategorized

Our latest Builds of Xmanager Enterprise, Xshell, and Xftp include support for Elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange algorithms. So if your server requires these encryption types, you can now access those servers with Xshell, Xftp, and Xmanager using the SSH protocol.

You can access these Key exchange algorithms through the Security category within Xshell’s sessions properties (SFTP/SSH setup dialog box of Xftp/Xmanager). Click the Edit button next to the drop down Key exchange list.

Check to make sure the “ecdh-sha2-nistp521”, “ecdh-sha2-nistp256”, and “ecdh-sha2-nistp384” boxes are checked. Updating from previous builds will show unchecked boxes.
