What ALDrive is
ALDrive is a Windows file-transfer program that connects to FTP, FTP over SSL/TLS, SFTP, and WebDAV services. It supports public-key and private-key authentication, and allows simultaneous connections to multiple sites. Files can be moved between local storage and a site, or between connected sites, using drag and drop. Its transfer window records activity and presents details for individual or multiple files in a tree view. Site maps can be imported from other programs, including FileZilla. The maker recommends Windows 10 or Windows 11 and lists a 9.3 MB PC download. The free plan covers noncommercial personal use in South Korea; other users need a purchased license, and use outside South Korea requires separate permission. The maker lists a separate business product and directs companies, education institutions, and public institutions to its purchase shop for licensing information. License terms describe at least two years of technical support, with scope depending on product and operating system. Support for Windows versions below Windows 10 ended with ALDrive v2.13.
