WebDrive integrates FTP, FTPS, WebDAV, SFTP, Amazon S3 or FrontPage servers into the Windows desktop by mapping a network drive letter to a server. This allows you to use your favorite applications to edit files and save them directly to the server.
Features: Unlike a typical FTP client, WebDrive allows you to open and edit server-based files without the additional step of downloading the file. You simply assign a network drive name to the FTP server. There is a simple wizard available to let you do that. With this kind of virtual drive connection you do not need to bother learning yet another FTP interface. You handle the files exactly as you would if it were in one of your machine drives. WebDrive integrates FTP, FTPS, WebDAV, SFTP, Amazon S3 or FrontPage servers into the Windows desktop by making your web server appear as a network drive. WebDrive can also connect to online storage services or your corporate SharePoint Server.
The WebDrive site manager makes it easy to define your connections. Just enter the server URL and your username and password and press "connect," to map the selected drive letter to your server. You can map different directories on the same server to unique drive letters. This provides easier access to frequently updated directories. You can also map unique drive letters to different server types - one drive to an SFTP server, one to a WebDAV server and another to an FTP server or to Amazon Web Services WebDrive has 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.

Overall: This certainly is a very useful application giving you a seamless virtual drive.
