- Panoramica WebDrive has built-in support for the industry standard SSL protocol. When used in conjunction with secure WebDAV, FTP 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 even 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 or non-secure FTP client connections.
Collaboration
WebDrive support WebDAV, the Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning protocol. WebDAV enables collaboration on a centrally located set of files. WebDAV is also more firewall friendly than other protocols. By mapping a drive letter to a WebDAV server, WebDrive allows you to lock files, modify them, and then release the locks so that others can view and edit. By using WebDAV locking concepts, WebDrive ensures data integrity. Because WebDrive can connect to FTP, SFTP and WebDAV servers, uses can store, access and collaborate on files in many locations – though the familiar interface of a drive letter. Internet Enable any Application Instantly Internet enable any application. Use WebDrive to manipulate files on your server with your favorite applications. For example, you can use Microsoft Backup to create backups of your web site, by simply selecting the drive letter to be backed up.
DOS/Legacy Support Once WebDrive has mapped a drive to your server, you can access it like a local drive. Use a DOS-prompt to use commands like copy, xcopy, mkdir, dir, move, etc. As the Internet grows, DOS based and other legacy applications are quickly being left in the dust; primarily due to their inability to access data over the Internet. WebDrive can breathe new life into these applications by providing DOS based Internet file access. Still using an application like WordPerfect for DOS®? With WebDrive, map any available network drive letter to an FTP, SFTP or WebDAV server over your corporate Intranet or over the Internet, then use the application to access those files through the mapped drive.
