Type: ReviewDate: 7 May 2008 09:30This is a nice add-on to any sysadmins arsenal. What I have found though is it's not useful for remote file ownership management because when you CMD-I to set ownership, Finder and Pathfinder pulls the local systems owner and group information.
Other than that, it's great to be able to manage files via finder on a remote SFTP system. Just keep the SSH terminal ready to set proper ownership and group permissions (or keep Yummy FTP or another FTP client around to help with the chore).
Great product.... Much more stable than Macfuse.

Type: CommentsDate: 25 Mar 2008 18:38Thanks. I had to purchase Yummy FTP instead of your product because I could tell it to use a private key and provide the password for that key. I have yet to see that option unless I'm missing it?

Type: CommentsDate: 25 Mar 2008 16:38I have been following this product for a while now and what baffles me is why it still doesn't support private/public SSH keys? For sysadmins (like myself), password protected private SSH keys are the only way to perform server tasks somewhat safely. Forklift guys, get this in and you will probably see a spike in sales.

Does Epandrive support private SSH keys with passwords? This is how I have the server setup since it's a hosting server.

Type: ReviewDate: 26 Feb 2008 20:32Seems to be headed in the right direction but... The SFTP servers I connect to require them. From what I have seen (testing), Exapdrive doesn't support SSH keys yet. Hopefully soon.. For now, uninstall.

Type: CommentsDate: 11 Feb 2008 12:25Since I posted this last, the developer worked with the company Emetrix to clear up the extra charge on my credit card. They issued the reg code a couple of days later. Just like anything else involving software, errors happen.
Great product which was worth the investment.

Type: CommentsDate: 27 Dec 2007 16:29The best alternative (and free) is PureFTP.. It's what I use for ftp servers when I need them. Since I purchased a Dlink DNS 323, it has a built in FTP server so now I have the best of both worlds! NAS with FTP

Type: ReviewDate: 19 Dec 2007 09:10THANK YOU!!!! The only other product that would fit the bill was RUMPUS. Talk about over priced.. OUCH.
This is a great product so if you DL, make a donation to the author please.

Type: CommentsDate: 18 Dec 2007 08:29Any chance on getting a Per-Site option on this? This would match an important Pithhelmet feature since I really need to turn blocking off all together for testing on client sites.

Type: ReviewDate: 1 Nov 2007 15:34This my personal opinion on the software. I'm not mad, just hitting myself on the forehead because I leapt before looking. My internet connection has been up and down today and this is adding a considerable amount of time for my restores due to the issue outlined below:
I should have read the reviews before plunking down $200 on this product. What I didn't realize was that the software needs to have a FULL TIME internet connection which validates the software every time you initiate a restore.
What does this mean? If you have 20,000 files you need to restore and you choose to selectively restore (say you click a file, then restore, it finishes and you select another and start restore), each time it's going to phone home before the restore starts and transmit the amount of data your restoring and check validation.
I would recommend anyone who has a restore situation where you don't have access to the internet bypass this software.

The author could have just made it so that when you register the software, it creates a system key which is transmitted to their servers and then validates the software by installing their key locally.
That would have prevented a lot of piracy (which is the authors primary concern) and is similar to what iTunes does.
It's good at what it does but the author thinks that for $200 he's entitled to your restore information.
What it boils down to is the software can only be used on one machine at a time (very fair) but your REQUIRED to have an internet connection active to re-validate the software each and every time you start a data restore and to transmit your restore data back to them. Very invasive for a "rescue" situation.

Type: CommentsDate: 30 Aug 2007 10:50P.S. The instructions you post for ALLTEL are incorrect and do not work.

Type: CommentsDate: 30 Aug 2007 10:47Tried that. No response.. NADA.. So I just cancelled my account. To bad because I would pay for this service if I thought it worked.
What kills me is I worked for ALLTEL for a decade and my wife still works for them (in then engineering division) and the engineers we talked with have no explanation as to why this doesn't work. They are not doing anything to block this service either. Not good when you can't get it to work with the 4th largest carrier in the U.S.

Type: ReviewDate: 23 Jul 2007 14:28OK, I have sent 3 bug reports in over the last month had the developers have taken all 3 and fixed them! What great service. I can't say enough about a company that will actually take a bug report, verify it, get back in touch to let you know it's fixed and the latest version is available for download. WOW.
Navicat is a critical part of my web design and hosting business. I played with a lot of tools before I settled on Navicat and have tried others since. Nothing seems to cover the bases as well.
Highly recommended.

Type: CommentsDate: 7 Jul 2007 17:21Navicat is a good DB tool, especially for the Mac. Be warned about 7.0.2, it crashes constantly. If your running 6.3.7, keep using that version.
I'm almost paralyzed because of the 7.0 crashes and when I installed 6.x over the 7.x, it wouldn't work at all.
