Really Smart Guy

There are other tools for doing this, including full ftp clients, but I've been using this tool for the last three months or so on my win2K development desktop and I really like it. It boots at startup and maps to as many FTP servers as you have drive letters.

It's apparently a product Novell licensed from some smaller software company for bundling (OEM) with NetWare. A comment I read on Engadget indicated that it's a lite version of a product produced by South River Technologies. The thing is all over the place on the web, but seems to typically require a login.

I ran into trouble installing it on my laptop last week, because I couldn't locate an installer download. So, having now procured one after much clicking and under-the-breath expletives, I've posted a copy of the latest version (4.1) at http://fuery.com/download/netdrive.exe . Obviously, I'm not interested in breaking the law here, so if I hear from Novell or South River, I'll be happy to take it down. Since every second university in the country seems to distribute it freely to students, I figure it's ok. :-)

Enjoy.

NetDrive is not a free utility.

It was licensed to Novell for exclusive use within a Netware 6 environment and is not meant for general distribution over the Internet.

Please remove the download from your blog.

Thanks

Wow, that was quick. I posted it, what, 75 minutes ago?

Removing momentarily...
