South River Technologies Releases WebDrive Version 9.0

New Version of Universal File Access Client Adds Efficiencies, Improved Security, and Amazon S3 Enhancements


ANNAPOLIS, MD--(Marketwire - April 14, 2009) - South River Technologies, Inc. (SRT), an innovator in secure file transfer and file collaboration software, today announced the release of Version 9.0 of its popular WebDrive Universal File Access Client. WebDrive enables easy access to files over the Internet in a simple, intuitive way that reduces training and support requirements and improves end-user efficiency.

New features of WebDrive include improved support for Amazon S3. The release also adds the ability for users to instantly see updates on directories shared with other users. Several security and performance enhancements have also been added to the release, including FIPS 140-2 certification when running WebDrive over SFTP protocol.

"As cloud computing continues to evolve, we are committed to supporting major cloud repositories and standards," said Michael Ryan, co-founder and CEO of South River Technologies. "WebDrive performance increases enable single-point access to all remote resources without the typical response time issues."

Because WebDrive maps a drive letter to remote servers, files can be edited without the user having to download the file, save it locally, edit it locally, and then upload the file again. WebDrive enables users to interact with remote files the same way that they interact with files on their local PCs.
