How map FTP drive to Drive Letter?

[Guest Cirene]

Using Windows Server Standard 2007 SP1.

 

How can I PERMANENTLY map an FTP drive to a drive letter?

 

I tried doing a Map Network Drive, but when I put ftp://ftp.myserver.com in

the 'folder' it tells me that "Windows cannot access xxxxx".

 

I am able to click on the "Connect to a web stie that you can use to store

your documents and pictures." That will enable me to put in the ftp login

info and see the files. BUT, I can't seem to map that connection to a drive

letter.

 

Can you help please???

Not possible.

File system functions -vs- FTP functions = Apples -vs- Oranges
