The Best Telnet/SSH Server for Windows NT/2000/XP

WAC Server (Windows Access Server) from Foxit Software Company is an efficient and full-featured telnet and SSH server for Windows NT/2000/XP machines. It's also a serial port terminal server.

With a very affordable price, WAC Server provides some important features that you can't find anywhere else. The followings are just some highlights of the wonderful features in WAC Server:

• Total Integration: WAC Server integrates a telnet server, SSH server and serial port server into one compact package. You don't have to use different servers for different type of terminal access.
• Complete SSH Support: WAC Server supports both SSH1 and SSH2. It supports shell access, remote exec, SFTP server, as well as two-way port forwarding. For user authentication, both password and public key authentication can be used.
• Remote Control: Once you logged onto WAC Server, you can have full access to the server machine (subject to Windows and WAC Server access control). With the free native client program, you can run all of the text-based applications on the server machine. You can have a full color display, use the mouse and the keyboard.
• Session Inter-operation: User sessions to WAC Server can inter-operate with each other. Users can send instant messages to other session. Administrators or pre-authorized users can watch, control, or takeover other sessions' screen and keyboard. (This is extremely useful for monitoring and training remotely.) User sessions can also be kept and reconnected if the network connection is broken.
• Toolkit Applications: WAC Server is bundled with a great collection of text-based applications that help you to do daily jobs and administrative work remotely. With the help of this toolkit, you can do much more than you might have expected, within a convenient remote terminal session.
• Client Side Printing: While you remotely run applications on the server machine, you can print locally on the most convenient printer. WAC Server can redirect server printing to client programs, for each user. Unlike the client printing function provided by some other servers, you don't have to go through a lengthy and complicated procedure to set it up.
• Server Administration: System administrators can easily setup access control plans for WAC Server. Access can be granted or revoked to users, user groups, or hosts, for different type of services. WAC Server also provides detailed logging facility for tracking user activities, and a protected shell to totally limit what users can do to the server.
• Network Efficiency: When remotely accessing a computer over a low-speed network, it's very important that the server uses only limited bandwidth. WAC Server uses a text-only approach which is much faster than graphic remote control applications. It's also more efficient compared with other text-based servers.
