NetDrive for Windows

Mount Remote FTP Spaces as Local Drives — NetDrive Overview

NetDrive is a free Windows utility that lets you attach remote FTP (and similar) storage so it appears and behaves like a drive on your PC. Instead of opening a separate FTP program each time, you can browse, open, and save files from the server directly through File Explorer, which reduces context switching and speeds common file tasks.

Primary Benefits

• Run or open files that remain on the server without first downloading them to a local folder, helping keep workflows uninterrupted.
• Move files between your workstation and the remote server with drag-and-drop ease, making transfers feel native and immediate.
• Configure multiple authentication options (for example, password and key-based logins) and keep detailed logs for auditing and troubleshooting.
• Treat each server as a mapped drive letter so standard applications can read and write to remote files as if they were stored locally.

How to Connect (Quick Steps)

1. Create a new connection in the app and give it a descriptive label.
2. Enter the server address, port, and the credentials required by your remote host.
3. Choose the desired authentication method and adjust logging settings as needed.
4. Mount the connection; it will appear as a drive in File Explorer so you can begin moving and opening files immediately.

Recommended Alternative

If you prefer a more traditional FTP client, FileZilla (available at no cost) is a widely used option. It provides a classic two-pane interface for manual transfers and supports the expected set of protocols and authentication choices.
