Using U3 Devices

SecureFX and SecureCRT are compatible with your U3 devices. They can be installed on your U3 devices individually or in their integrated configuration.

Installation

To install SecureFX and/or SecureCRT, plug your U3 device into your computer (the device should initialize itself). From your device's Launchpad, use the add or manage programs function to open the appropriate .u3p installer file, and follow the directions given by the installer.

Importing existing configurations

When SecureCRT and/or SecureFX is run for the first time, you will be asked if you want to import an existing configuration. If you choose to import, the following files will be moved to the U3 device and the listed setting will be changed to point to a U3 location:

Note: Only files that are currently being used will be imported (e.g., if you have five identity files but are only using three of them, only those three will be imported).
