Mount an FTP server as a local device
Imagine if you could mount an FTP server on your desktop so you could access it like any other local drive. You can with WebDrive for Mac. This software integrates SFTP, WebDAV, FTP, FTPS, or GroupDrive servers into Finder by simply mounting the server as a local device. This allows for much easier access to an FTP site without having to go through an FTP client every time. WebDrive for Mac also supports SSL and SSH encryption, ensuring the security of your connections.
The setup process is simple, even for those unfamiliar with FTP clients. Just enter the desired drive name, username, password, host name, IP address, and initial remote directory. Once the site profile is created, click on it and click Mount to connect. WebDrive will display the name of the server in Finder, just like any other local drive.
However, it is worth noting that WebDrive may freeze when attempting to mount the drive, which can be frustrating. Although this seems to be a known issue, it is still a bug that needs to be addressed. Despite this, WebDrive for Mac offers a convenient solution for easier access to your FTP server.
