Hello David The available options depend upon the address you enter. Please try it with our server. Don't put the "https" on the front, just use files.mac-access.net. The software makes assumptions if you use the full prefix. But on the Mac, I can definitely definitely tell you that if you set the option in the Protocol box to ftp/sftp, make sure that the port is set to 21, it super definitely works.
I haven't yet tried the latest Windows version, but will do so this evening. Gordon On 15 Jul 2012, at 17:20, David Griffith <[email protected]> wrote: Thanks Gordon What version are you using? On my windows version there is no option to change protocol. There is a dialogue entitled new drive but the only options are to enter a drive name. server address, user name and password. . . . On the version I installed on the Mac there is an option to change protocol but the only options are SSH, and 2 option which are, I think, from memory are Amazon and Strongdrive. I can check with the developers whether this change to FTP is accessible/possible now but it may be that we are using different versions of the program. The program has just disappeared and will not reload so I will not be able to get my version number until after a restart.

Subject: More on ExpanDrive Hi again all concerned. OK, I've just tried this and yes, WebDAV has indeed been removed. However, using SFTP on port 21, I have securely and reliably managed to connect to our server via the Internet. It's very fast actually and very reliable. So it is't such a big deal as I had thought it was going to be. It works perfectly. if anybody would like to try it with our server, feel free. First, download and install ExpanDrive for your platform. Next, click the "New Drive" button. In the protocol dialogue, change the protocol from ftp/ssh to sftp/ftp. Then in the server name field, enter: files.mac-access.net Make sure the port is set to 21. Then, change the path to "/", (that is a forward slash). That will allow the server to dictate where you are and not produce an error. Then, in the user and password fields, enter "software", in lower case and without the quotes. If you have an account on our server, just enter your own user data and you're good to go.
