WebDrive FTP Client
WebDrive is more than just an FTP Client. You can access and edit files on the server the same way that you interact with files on your local PC.
Unlike a typical FTP client, WebDrive allows 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 virtual drive, there is no need to learn a separate FTP client interface.
WebDrive uses industry standard Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and SFTP to ensure secure transmission of your files. WebDrive can provide S/Key password encryption so that passwords cannot be read during transmission. WebDrive supports WebDAV protocol, which allows you to lock files, change the files, and then release the locks to allow other users to review and update the information.
WebDrive is the only FTP Client that supports additional protocols such as WebDAV, SFTP and Amazon S3 and maps a drive letter to each of these servers.
Easy File Collaboration
WebDrive supports Web-Based Distributed Authoring and Versioning protocol (WebDAV). When you map a drive letter to any WebDAV compliant Web server, WebDrive allows you to lock files, modify them, and then release the locks so that others can review and update the files. WebDrive users can maintain data integrity by using WebDAV locking concepts.
Secure File Transfer
WebDrive provides 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.
Offline Access
WebDrive allows you to access and work on documents offline. You do not need to be connected to the remote server; you can mark the documents as available for offline access and then synchronise your changes with the server the next time you connect to the remote server.
File Transfer Manager
The WebDrive File Transfer Manager can be used to perform full or incremental backups and synchronisation between files and folders on your local computer to your server. You can schedule backup jobs to run at specific times or on demand.
Internet enable any application, including DOS legacy applications
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.

- ASCII/Binary mode - options to transfer files in ASCII/Binary mode based on file extension
FIPS - SFTP
WebDrive Version 9 and later is fully compliant with FIPS-140-2 when running in Secure File Transfer Mode. This mode, using the SFTP protocol, and running over an SSH v2.0 encrypted tunnel, meets or exceeds the current FIPS-140-2 standards.
In WebDrive, FIPS-140-2 mode is the default when using SFTP, and for security reasons, cannot be disabled. When WebDrive initializes, FIPS-140-2 compliance tests are run and information is written to the logfile (and displayed in the WebDrive Administration Console).
FIPS - SSL
WebDrive uses the FIPS compliant Microsoft SSL engine.
