Protos

I was browsing my google reader and lifehacker had an application that I must share with the world!

It’s called netdrive and was developed by Novell:

Mount remote drives over FTP, SFTP, WebDAV or iFolder to your desktop with freeware application NetDrive. Once mounted, you can navigate your remote drive like any other folder in Windows Explorer. The application is free to download, but its development has been discontinued so it’s somewhat hard to come by (hence the direct download link below).

What it basically allow you to do is to mount an ftp server as a normal drive in explorer. This is very useful, if you are working on several different computers or if you just want to make backups.

I have my weblog here at protos.dk it is hosted at www.one.com. They offer many gigabytes of storrage, and this space is perfect for backing up files or storing files in transit.

I made a new folder today: www.protos.dk/freeware/netdrive.zip

Go on give it a go!

Novell still has a manual for the thing online.

I am one happy camper :-)
