Reconnector X is an automated remote file system mounter that links to the appropriate file server, making it simple to manage files in a geographically dispersed system.
One of the standout features of Reconnector is its ability to automatically reconnect to mounted systems that disconnect or disappear. This is particularly useful for standalone computers, or application servers, which need to be connected to specific file servers to properly function.
Reconnector also allows users to launch multiple applications at startup, ensuring that all necessary applications are up and running when needed. Additionally, if an application were to unexpectedly terminate, Reconnector is designed to automatically relaunch it.
An alternative to the Chooser, Reconnector can help users connect to multiple file servers simultaneously. By configuring different users/groups, users can easily switch between file servers depending on their location, making it ideal for PowerBook users who often let their devices sleep.
Reconnector is both easy to install and user-friendly. Password-protected configurations keep login and password information secure, while encrypted data ensures that no one can make changes without the correct password.
With the added convenience of email notifications when a server volume disappears, Reconnector does have some limitations such as slight startup delay, a registration screen at startup, and a 360-hour demo. However, its many strengths make it a valuable tool for anyone in need of reliable, automatic file server connection.
