Tired of uploading and downloading from your FTP Server? WebDrive maps a network drive letter to FTP, SFTP and WebDAV servers, allowing you to open and edit server-based files without the additional step of downloading the file. Using a simple wizard, you assign a network drive letter to the FTP Server. By connecting through a mapped drive, there is no need to learn a separate FTP client interface. You access and edit files on the server the same way that you interact with files on your local PC.
WebDrive supports a variety of protocols such as SFTP, WebDAV, FTP/SSL and Amazon S3. WebDrive can also connect to online storage services or your corporate SharePoint Server.
The WebDrive site manager makes it easy to define your connections. Just enter the server URL and your username and password and press "connect," to map the selected drive letter to your server. You can map different directories on the same server to unique drive letters. This provides easier access to frequently updated directories. You can also map unique drive letters to different server types - one drive to an SFTP server, one to a WebDAV server and another to an FTP server or to Amazon Web Services. This functionality is not available in typical FTP software.
WebDrive has built-in support for the industry standard SSL protocol. When used in conjunction with secure WebDAV, FTP, FTPS, or SFTP servers, WebDrive will open an encrypted tunnel between the client computer and the remote server; giving you secure transmission of critical data over the Internet. WebDrive can also be used as an alternative to a corporate VPN. Install the WebDrive client and an SSL enabled server, and WebDrive can act as the VPN for your company; an efficient alternative to an expensive VPN and non-secure FTP client connections.
Use WebDrive to access and edit files on your server from within your favorite applications. Rather than launching an FTP Client or SFTP Client to update your files, just open the file directly from its folder on the server and the correct application will launch. When you are finished, simply click save from within the application.
WebDrive lets you search for files on your server using your desktop search software. If you use Google Desktop Search, or MSN Desktop Search, simply configure your search utility to index the files on the drive letter that WebDrive maps to your server. Imagine getting search results from your corporate FTP Server, your Apple iDisk Storage, and your local desktop in one search!
