Network Drive Mapper v1.0

webfork on 16 Jul 2022
  • 204KB (uncompressed)
  • Released on
  • Suggested by rosenberg

Network Drive Mapper allows you to manage network drive mappings. You can add drive mappings by IP address without first connecting to them, then connect to selected or all entries easily using either the graphical user interface or command-line switches. The drive mappings are stored in a DAT file, which is encrypted to help prevent any passwords from being compromised.

Category:
Runs on:WinNT / Win2K / WinXP
Writes settings to: Application folder
License: Freeware
How to extract: Download the ZIP package and extract to a folder of your choice. Launch Network Drive Mapper.exe.

Optionally, for a more automated process once you have set up network mappings, use the -c argument to run, connect to all saved entries, then exit. Similarly, you may use the -d startup switch to disconnect all map entries then exit.

  • Released on
  • Suggested by Andrew Lee

FileCommander is a feature-rich, multi-pane file manager that supports up to 4 simultaneous browser windows (enabled with "View", "Extended view"). File highlighting to separate different file types and comes with 3 different "themes," or skins. Includes a process list, folder comparison/synchronization tool, MD5 hash, file splitter, network monitor, virtual drives, file sharing, CD burner etc. ZIP, 7zip and RAR files are handled as folders and file preview tool (F3) allows a quick-view for a long list of file types. Additionally, the program includes an "open with" capability that supports relative pathways, allowing FileCommander to open files using other portable software.

Performance enhancements over regular Explorer include individual threads for each window so the rest of the program doesn't slow down during one window's process (e.g. CD spin-up, network delay). Internal clipboard means Windows' own clipboard will not be overwritten.

Update: after extensive use, although program had a lot of promise but its unfortunately really buggy. Drag and drop outside of the window doesn't work, wouldn't refresh a new cd that was inserted, and many, many minor glitches. Pass on this one.

Looking at the screenshot, I'm just wondering if this is more of an Adware product than a Freeware product?

VStat is a small GUI tool that produces similar output to the traditional command line tool netstat. In addition to showing the various states of network activity on your computer it shows the associated application name and process ID. VStat allows you to close any existing established TCP connection and will give you the ability to terminate the owning application associated with any entry, provided you have the relevant permissions to do so.

FYI they have version 2.0.0.0 BETA available at the website (haven't found any changelog)

donald on 2011-11-21 05:34

The new beta 2.0.0.0 Supports Vista,& 7 and notes a release date of 4/19/2010

donald on 2011-11-21 05:41

I recommend updating to the 2.0.0.0 Beta and hosting it instead, specifically If I am not misinformed this just edits a single registry key (different Reg key for each new Windows OS) and thus is just a simple 1 key Reg editor.

It should be tested for portability though.

BartPE v3.1.10a

billon on 9 Dec 2016
  • 5MB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 17 Feb 2006
  • Suggested by Andrew Lee

BartPE enables you to create a self-contained version of Windows on CD/DVD that runs "live" from the CDROM. It includes full network support and read/write access to NTFS volumes, which is great for diagnostic or troubleshooting purposes. It also includes a good number of built-in apps, and many more can be added via the plugin mechanism.

Note: You need the original Windows Installation CDROM in order to build the "live" CD.

I finally decided to give BartPE a try so that I could make a bootable Ghost 8 CD, but when I would go to boot the finished CD, the damn thing would freeze at the "please wait" bar every time.

I spent my whole weekend trying to get it to work.

No matter what options I enabled/disabled and no matter what files I added or removed, it would still freeze at that "please wait" bar.

What a waste of time!

I ended up going with HawkPE.
Unfortunately, it doesn't enable CD/DVD burning support in Ghost, but at least the thing boots.

Well, I decided to try one more thing before giving up on BartPE.

I tried using my friend's Windows XP disk instead of mine and it worked.

My disk was version 2600.1152 (SP2)

and his disk was version 2600.1106 (SP1)

I can't believe I was unable to find any support anywhere related to freezing with certain XP versions.
BartPE has been around a long time now ... it seems like someone must have known about this problem.

Hopefully I don't encounter any more mystery bugs!

Hm, the domain name runs out april 1 2010 - doesn't look as if the site has been updated in 7 years - wonder if this is the end of HoverIP

Angry IP Scanner v2.21

__philippe on 25 Jan 2021

Angry IP Scanner is a fast IP scanner that can ping a range of IP addresses to check if they are alive, then optionally resolve hostnames, scan ports, etc. The program is useful for network administrators to monitor and manage their networks.

Note: Current versions of this program require Java. Until this is tested as portable, we are linking to the previous non-Java version.

@Craunch

One more reason to use the older legacy version instead, which, afaik, does not need Java.

Craunch: just added a note to the entry.

__philippe on 2016-01-30 17:10

As illustrated in the forum http://www.portablefreeware.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=78597
AdvancedIPscanner is NOT portable.

Besides, the package contains no less than 45 distinct files, including umpteen dll's, for a bloated total of 8.8MB, versus AngryIPscanner single 108KB *.exe.

Take you pick...;-)

Virtual Drives Manager v1.0b

webfork on 12 Nov 2020
  • 213KB (uncompressed)
  • Released on
  • Suggested by Andrew Lee

Virtual Drives Manager is a tool for defining virtual drives in your filesystem. Virtual drives are symbolic links that points to existing directories on your filesystem. This is essentially a graphical version of subst.exe.

Note: This application periodically tries to contact www.appcontrols.com. If you are using a personal firewall, you can simply block it from accessing the network. But if you are really fussy about such things, then you might not want to use the program at all.

Another way of solving the above "phoning home" issue is to edit you 'hosts' file and point www.appcontrols.com to 127.0.0.1 -- be forewarned though that, should you do this, you won't be able to open the webpage without reversing the edit...

Advanced LAN Pump v2.32

lwc on 30 Dec 2022
  • 1002KB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 3 Apr 2006
  • Suggested by Andrew Lee

Advanced LAN Pump lets you send files over the network with pause/restart options, automatic error recovery, even a queue for sending a list of files. Great for copying lots of data, particularly over WiFi networks, where the standard Windows copy function is just not robust enough to deal with intermittent network interference and failures.

Note: This program has gone payware. Last available freeware version available via the download link.

serginh0, I agree with you- KillCopy is a great app! I wouldn't want it to be completely portable though. It attaches itself to the right click context menu which is its greatest asset. That allows it to NOT run in memory like the others on this site.

I have found it available in version 2.31 at http://www.ldmstudio.com/go/free.php?id=74

The homepage is now http://www.softsolo.com/, but at almost $40 for the current version (3.1), it's DEFINITELY not freeware anymore!
