SFTP to securely transfer files
1/8
NetDrive supports secure file transfer by SFTP (SSH File Transfer protocol) . Unlike standard File Transfer Protocol (FTP), SFTP encrypts commands and data both, preventing passwords and sensitive information from being transmitted in the clear over a network.
With the help of NetDrive accessing multiple cloud storage accounts like Dropbox, SkyDrive, CloudMe and Box becomes as easy as accessing your local file system. WebDAV and FTP servers are registered through the NetDrive Site Manager. Secure HTTPS connections can be configured in the Advanced menu. Once connected online drives can be controlled from Windows Explorer via a drive letter. Remote files than behave like any local data. Transferring files and folders works by drag&drop, applications can be executed and movies start with a mouse click. NetDrive has an option to launch at Windows start and is accessible through an icon in the system tray. The free tool even offers legacy DOS-prompt support including the use of commands like xcopy and dir.
NetDrive is paid and a trial version can be downloaded. Even after the trial period, you can continue using NetDrive but it will be limited to mount only one network drive, limited transfer speed and a banner will be displayed over the windows explorer indicating the trial is over.
