SECURECRT the Personal app data path in Windows XP and Windows 7 is different, in Windows 7, the app data path is: C:\users\<username>\appdata (hidden) \ Roaming\vandyke\config.


But the above is for the legitimate installation of registered users, for the green Pocket Edition, especially the direct copy paste version, often appear above error. This is because SECURECRT cannot find the host key database location. So after copying and pasting, you need to edit the "Host Key Database location" in the "./data/settings/config/ssh2.ini" file.

S: "Host Key Database Location" = Application root directory/data/settings/config/knownhosts
