WebDrive 9.0

WebDrive 9.0 is a software letting you open and edit server-based files without the additional step of downloading the file, with which you can assign a network drive letter to the FTP Server. By connecting through a virtual 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 integrates FTP, FTPS, WebDAV, SFTP, Amazon S3 or FrontPage servers into the Windows desktop by making your web server appear as a network drive. This allows you to use your favorite applications to edit files and save them directly to the server. The WebDrive client includes proxy server support and many advanced FTP features like resume interrupted download, Auto ASCII/Binary transfer selection, and Unix file permission support. WebDrive also has SSL and SSH encryption capabilities for secure file transfers and Digest Authentication support for WebDAV servers.

Major Features:

1. Simple Set-up and Configuration
   • 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.
2. Security Features
   • 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.
3. Works from Within Your Favorite Applications
   • Open your FTP files from a network drive. It’s as easy as editing files in your “My Documents” FolderUse 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. No additional steps to upload or download.
   • For example, you can open MS Word and access your FTP files from the “Open” menu item on the “File” menu. You can also open your recently edited files. Or use Microsoft Backup to create backups of your web site, by simply selecting the drive letter to be backed up.  WebDrive works with all Windows applications
4. Convenient Search Capability for Your Server Files
   • 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!
5. DOS/Legacy Support (Command Line)
   • Once WebDrive has mapped a drive to your server, you can access it like a local drive. Use a DOS-prompt to use commands such as, copy, xcopy, mkdir, dir, move, etc.
6. Advanced Features
   • SFTP Support - Use WebDrive to connect to your SFTP/SSH server for fast, secure file access. SFTP is supported when running under Windows NT/2K/XP/03. Windows 9x is not supported.
   • Amazon S3 Support - Use WebDrive to connect to your Amazon Web Services online storage account.
   • Microsoft FrontPage Support - Connect to any website running the Microsoft FrontPage extensions.
   • Firewall/Proxy server support - Login through a variety of proxy servers and firewalls, including MS Proxy 2.0, SOCKS 4.3 and SOCKS 5, and Raptor (gwpasswd).
   • S/KEY Password Encryption - Use MD4 & MD5 password encryption for supported FTP servers.
   • Foreign Language Support - Support for Far East languages like Japanese, and Chinese using DBCS.
   • File Caching - WebDrive caches both file and directory listings for quick access. You can control the amount of disk space used for the cache, and whether to cache files, directory listings, or both.
