• Available Connection Type Prefixes ab:// Address Book Entry ssh:// SSH telnet:// Telnet tcp:// TCP Direct com:// Serial(COM) Port phone:// Modem(Phone)

Along with robust SSH features, Token2Shell also supports TELNET, TCP Direct,
Serial(COM) Port and Modem(Phone) connections.

Token2Shell.SSHpf Token2Shell includes a dedicated standalone application called "Token2Shell.SSHpf" for SSH tunneling. This application provides tunneling or port forwarding for other applications, and can be minimized to Taskbar's tray icon area and run transparently in the background.

Simple Yet Flexible User Interface Dockable Panes Token2Shell utilizes dockable panes to allow the user to adjust the layouts of its major components such as address book and session configuration window. If you wish to have a simple clean look, you can remove all the toolbars and panes, and just have the address bar and session screen visible. Detachable Session Tabs You can open multiple sessions within Token2Shell. Token2Shell assigns each of those sessions to a tab on the main screen. You can also use the session tabs to have a session screen detached from the main window. Double-clicking on a tab detaches the associated session screen. Once detached, the session screen acts like a dockable pane, i.e., you can dock with other session panes or freely move around the desktop area. If you wish to attach a session pane back to the main window, simply double-click on its pane title area.

Seamless Feature Integration Features in Token2Shell are not just a collection of small utilities, they actually evolve around the communication session to help you efficiently accomplish your tasks. Address Book Token2Shell includes Address Book for saving session configurations. Configurable options for a session entry include detailed connection and terminal setup. You can even assign different font and foreground/background colors for each entry. You can also create folders to categorize or group the entries. Login Agent When Login Agent is enabled, Token2Shell caches passwords and decrypted private keys for SSH sessions. Hence, you do not need to enter your password repeatedly to log into the same server. For cached private keys, you can also enable "Agent Forwarding" option. This Agent Forwarding feature is compatible with the "public-key" user authentication method of OpenSSH servers.

SSH2 Remote Copy

Token2Shell has a unique file transfer feature for SSH2 connections. It incorporates SFTP and SCP of SSH2 protocol to maximize the file transfer speed while maintaining the convenience of choosing files and folders via graphical user interface.

During an SSH session, if you need to upload a file or folder, simply drag-and-drop the item over the session screen. Token2Shell then automatically tries to detect the directory path of the remote host you were working on, and initializes the necessary upload settings. When Token2Shell shows the settings along with the drag-and-dropped items, you just need to press <Enter> or click "Upload" to start the transfer.

For downloading, pressing keyboard shortcut <Ctrl> + <Page Down> will bring up a file/folder selection window. Token2Shell will try to automatically detect the remote directory path you were working on and list the files and folders of that directory. You then just need to choose the files and/or folders you wish to download from the list, and press <Enter> or click "Download".

SSH2 Remote Copy uses already established connection; hence you do not need to worry about making additional connections or entering your password again for the file transfer operation. Also, as the file transfer is done over the existing session, Token2Shell intelligently maintains the character code encoding for file/folder names between the local desktop and the remote host. For example, if you have a local file name in Unicode/Korean characters and the remote host uses EUC-KR double-byte character encoding, simply make sure you have set the character code page for the session as "EUC-Korean" or "ANSI/OEM – Korean". Token2Shell will then automatically convert the names when you download or upload files.

Token2Shell also supports traditional file transfer protocols such as ZModem and XModem.

Convenient Built-In Tools

Command Macro

You can prepare a text file with list of command lines and play the file via Token2Shell. The connected remote system will see the played file as command lines that were typed and sent by you. Token2Shell also supports a set of wait/send style script commands.

Line Sender

If the connection is slow or you need to send the same set of commands repeatedly, Line Sender can be a handy tool. In Line Sender pane, each line is sent to the currently selected session as you press <Enter>. You can also set the Line Sender to broadcast the text line to all connected sessions.

Slow Paste

Token2Shell supports sending clipboard-stored text line by line at a configurable interval. This feature is handy when you need to cut and paste configuration command lines while setting up remote systems. By briefly pausing after sending each line, you should be able to review the result of each command. If any error is spotted while applying the commands, you can immediately stop sending the rest of the lines simply by hitting the <ESC> key.

HEX Mode When HEX Mode is enabled received communication data are displayed in their HEX values. This feature is useful in studying or debugging the communication protocol your server or device uses. Watchbird When Watchbird is enabled, Token2Shell captures incoming data on a built-in text editor and highlights the keywords you have setup. When a keyword is found, you can also configure Token2Shell to bookmark the line with the keyword, or play a sound.

Mobile Ready!

When you need to go mobile with your Windows phone, simply copy the home data folder of Token2Shell to your mobile device and launch Token2Shell/Mobile for Windows Mobile. Token2Shell/Mobile supports all flavors of Windows Mobile (Professional/Classic/Standard) and shares a large part of the configuration settings such as address book entries, command macro and etc.

If you have a Windows laptop with a small screen, the full screen mode of Token2Shell can be handy. In this mode, unlike the usual "maximized" window mode, all screen elements such as window title, toolbars and even the Windows taskbar are hidden. Only the selected session window is visible. In order to trigger the full screen mode on or off, you can select "Full Screen" from the right-click pop-up menu, or press <Alt> + <Enter>.
