Install
Web-ster Virtual Drive can be used two ways:
- Virtual Drive Manager, software that sets up the Drive on a specific computer
- A web interface that can be used for file transfer on any computer anywhere with Internet access
This section tells you how to install the Virtual Drive Manager Software. The Web Interface does not need installation.
You should have received an email with your user name and password or verbally from a Web-ster representative. You will need this information before continuing. If you don't have it please contact support at (503)266-8111. You may be asked a security question to confirm account ownership.
