NetDrive is an application that allows users to connect web files and folders to a local PC drive securely. Installation involves downloading the executable, accepting the license agreement, and mapping a drive to access website files.

Mapping a drive

(in the example, it’s Drive Z) with a listing of your
website files and folders
You may also save data,
copy data, move data and
delete data to or from your
"X" drive, as you would
normally do using My
Computer.

9. Word of caution
While NetDrive is ideal for batch uploading, copying and
moving web pages within a server’s namespace, please bear in
mind that using Netdrive does not automatically carry and
update links between two or more items automatically nor does
it update a content’s properties (e.g. title, summary, related
items, etc.). In fact, one should always update file title &
description after upload using Plone web interface because
sometimes Netdrive would put description like "Error: may not
be a pdf file...“ when the file is actually OK.
Cut/copy/paste via web interface is much faster.
