If you are a more experienced Windows user, you know that the Windows Explorer is total crap for extensive file management. So you use a 2-pane file manager instead. The most well know is Total Commander, but if you are looking for a worthy alternative, this is the one. It is better looking and better configurable and has all the common features needed for daily file management. I started using this software when it was still called Enriva explorer because it was the first file manager to handle file descriptions properly and it was able to show transfer rates. I like that! Since then the software has evolved and is quite stable now. It does crash occasionally, but if you can reproduce it, report it and it is likely to be fixed in the next version.

Not a bad piece of software. But, be darned sure it does exactly what it says it will do for you because their tech support sucks so bad they should be named Hoover! I bought this piece of crap and didn't test it thoroughly. After SEVERAL attempts to contact their "tech support", I just gave up and unloaded it. At least the author was nice enough to refund my money. Gotta give him credit for THAT.

Reviewing 3.0 Public Beta 1 (May 28, 2004)
Have you contacted us to receive the workaround? Downloading the updated version will unfortunately not solve the issue if you have already run the previous version and it expired. Please contact support@enriva.com directly and we will help you as best we can. I assure you that immediately expiring the beta was obviously not our intention (what would be the point of that?).

I love this program!! Reminds me of Dirwork on my old Amiga. There are many many config options in this program. I had no problems with it timing out like others have reported. FTP is very fast. Looks like they spent a lot of time working on it. Much nicer than 2.6 was. Makes looking after my drives really easy.
