Xshell is free for home and school use.

Features and Highlights

Replaces insecure telnet clients.
The app supports VT100, VT220, VT320, XTERM, LINUX, SCO ANSI and ANSI terminal emulation and provides various terminal appearance options replacing legacy telnet clients.

Supports secure connections for X11 and arbitrary TCP/IP applications.
The tool supports the port forwarding feature over the SSH tunneling mechanism so that all TCP/IP applications can share a secure connection without any modification to the program.

Don’t let others take a peek at your information
The program supports various security features such as SSH1/SSH2 protocols, password, and DSA/RSA public key user authentication methods, and encrypts all traffic with various encryption algorithms. It is essential to keep your data safe with the built-in software security feature because the traditional connection protocols such as TELNET and Rlogin can leave your network traffic vulnerable to anyone with network knowledge. The software will help you protect your data from hackers.

The best terminal emulator user experience
Terminal users often have to work with multiple terminal sessions at any given time and need to compare the terminal output with many different hosts or send the same set of commands to them. The app is designed to resolve these issues. With a wide range of user convenient features such as a tabbed environment, split window, synchronized key input, and session management, you can save time and get more work done faster.

Multiple languages in a single screen? Xshell is ready when you are
The tool is the first of its kind that has UTF-8 based terminal. With this app, multiple languages can be displayed on a single screen and there is no need to switch between different language encodings. As more businesses are moving towards providing their services, databases, and applications in UTF-8 format, there is an increasing demand for a terminal emulator that supports UTF-8 encoding. X shell can help you handle the multiple language environment.
