Map a drive to your FTP server

Posted by chayner @ 10/25/2005

If you have an FTP server that you're constantly uploading to and downloading from, it can be a pain to use an FTP program to manage everything. Novell's free program, NetDrive, let's you instead map your FTP server to act like a local hard drive, so that all your remote files are accessible through the file manager that you're used to. All of the uploading and downloading will be done in the background -- almost seamlessly.

Due to licensing restrictions, Novell cannot provide a direct download from their site, but you can easily find netdrive.exe through a little Google search. Also, you can check out a step-by-step tutorial over at Engadget.

Dude, this is really handy. I am constantly FTPing files between my work and home computers and this will help some of the guesswork in trying to remember what iteration of a file is where.
