Unlike a typical FTP client, WebDrive is more than just an FTP Client as lets you open and edit server-based files without downloading the file. It assign to a network drive letter to the FTP Server using a simple wizard. You can connect through a virtual drive without the need of learning a separate FTP client interface. You can easily access and edit files on the server in same way just like files on your local PC.

The WebDrive site manager ease 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 is functionality 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. 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

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!

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.
