Guest -1 Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 If you right click on my computer, there is an option there to map a network drive. I have a website that I ftp data to all the time. Is there a way that I can map a drive letter to this ftp site (eg ftp://domain.com) using my username and password so that I can copy files to a drive letter to upload rather then using ftp? thx

But you *can*, however use NetDrive (by Novell) to do this - do a search for it. It will allow you to assign a mappable drive letter to an FTP location. It does work... and for some things, it works *great*, but for others... you'll hit a wall. Simple copying and synch? No problem, if you're the only user. I investigated ths in the context of storing a data fle for a multi/user booking billing program. It relies on FTP and local internet speeds, so I found that it took abotu 5-10 minutes to prepare the file, which was only 20 meg at the time - now it's over 60 - and about 10 minutes to detach from it. This was so discouraging that I didn't bother seeing what the multi-user effects would have been,. If it's just you putting sutff up on the site, NetDrive can be what you need. Free, too, IIRC http://www.acs.uwosh.edu/novell/netdrive.htm HTH -pk
