Thursby's award-winning software product, DAVE, is the best solution for easy cross-platform file and print sharing. DAVE uses the fast, industry standard TCP/IP protocol instead of AppleTalk and is designed specifically for the Apple Macintosh. It is installed on the Macintosh and no additional hardware or software is required on the PC. DAVE is a “one product fits all” solution for sharing between the different Microsoft platforms and Macintosh systems. Providing SMB signing and Dfs support, it is the most secure and most versatile file and print sharing solution available.
Features include:
* Domain Login Support
* Support for NTLMv2 and Kerberos
* Supports Distributed File Systems (Dfs)
* Shares files and printers between Macs and PCs
* Supports Microsoft standard browsing (including WINS)

New to DAVE version 8
* DFS - DAVE, along with Thursby’s other products, are the only Macintosh client-side solutions with built-in support for Microsoft’s Distributed File Systems. This allows users to access shares without requiring knowledge of the actual file location.
* Proper Use of NTFS Resource Forks - Eliminates extraneous files created by Apple’s SMB client. These dot-underscore files clutter the Windows folder and risk being orphaned if the file is deleted, which wastes disk space on the Windows volume.
* NAS Support - Allows access to many-third party network-attached-storage servers (NAS). Offerings from NetApp, EMC, and UNIX platforms running the latest Versions of Samba are compatible with DAVE.
