New in SFTP Drive 2.0.23 (Mar 25, 2013)

  • Fixed several issues in installation/uninstallation process.

New in SFTP Drive 2.0.21 Beta (Mar 25, 2013)

  • Fixed the issue with unsupported operation on reallocating file sizes. If a server reports that the feature is not supported, the program will not send such requests again in this session.

New in SFTP Drive 2.0.20 Beta (Mar 25, 2013)

  • Added ability to disconnect currently connected drive from command-line
  • Fixed compatibility issue with those servers (e.g. VanDyke's VShell SSH server for Windows) that report zero values for available space requests

New in SFTP Drive 1.0.19 (Nov 7, 2012)

  • Added ability to change the first and the last disk letters the program uses for its drive.
  • This is done using DiskLetter section in the %APPDATA%\SftpNetDrive\SftpNetDrive.cfg file.
  • By default the first allowed disk letter is C, and the last allowed one is Z. The user may modify both of them. The settings are not available in the program nterface.
  • Added disconnection of the disk when Windows goes to stand by (being suspened) and reconnecting the disk automatically when Windows gets back from suspend (stand by).
  • Changed the way the program registers itself to run on Windows startup. Now it puts a shortcut into the Windows Startup folder. So to disable SFTP Net Drive from running on Windows start it's only needed to delete that shortcut. Also added shortcut into program's group in the Windows Start menu that creates the shortcut in the Windows Startup folder again.
  • File system driver updated

New in SFTP Drive 1.0.18 (Nov 7, 2012)

  • Reworked access to files on the server; now a file on the server is opened only once but with exclusive access
