including WebDAV, SFTP, SSL and FTP, making it a universal access
client to a wide variety of remote storage servers.

   WebDrive 8.0 also includes support for Windows Single Sign on,
which increases productivity of end users' on the corporate network by
relying on the credentials of the logged on Windows user to connect to

company's systems administrator.
