This properties tab allows you to configure some aspects of the application. These settings will be reflected throughout all of your connection files.




Version Checking This program automatically goes out to the Celestial Software website to detect whether a newer version has been released. The "Ignore Version XXX and below" checkbox forces the application to ignore checking for version XXX and below, when it performs its version checking task.
Behavior This section allows you to adjust various application defaults. Upon first use of the application, you will be prompted to set some of these defaults. These options do not have to be configured permanently. If the "Prompt" option is checked, the application will ask you configuration questions, upon opening every connection file.

  • "Close application on disconnect" - This checkbox forces the application to close upon disconnect. If enabled, it will close whether the user closes the connection or whether the remote host closes it.
  • "Allow close while connected" - This option allows the user to close the application, while still connected to the remote host.
  • "Connect on open" - When this option is checked, the application automatically connects upon openning any connection file.
  • "Save on exit" - If this checkbox is enabled, the application automatically saves the connection file's current settings upon exiting.
  • "Make this program the default telnet" - This modifies Windows settings to allow this program to be the default Windows program for telnet connections.

I've tried lots of different telnet/ssh clients, and I have two long-time favorites: Putty and Absolute Telnet. Putty, because it's such a quick download that on someone else's machine i can run it without going through an install, and it runs ssh. But for my own machine, the only choice is Absolute Telnet. It stores my password, terminal appearance and connection settings so that it's literally 2 seconds from clicking the icon to being logged in to my remote ssh accounts. It's incredibly customizeable, but not overwhelmingly so. I hardly ever pay for software (I'm embarassed to say), but I like Absolute Telnet so much I've paid for the full version and I'm glad I did. It's important to note that this software is maintained by one guy, Brian Pence, who personally answers people's questions on his online forum and answers email inquiries (he's answered a couple of mine, and always been really helpful). I gotta say, you hardly ever get this kind of commitment and personal touch in software anymore. --Ben Wheeler
