how to map ftp://something to q:

[macabre13]

Hi,
I'm trying to map some ftp folder to local windows drive. Since it is not a normal local resource mapping, and all my attemps to use WNetAddConnectionX fails. I fail have no idea, how to do that.

Is there a hope?

Lets assume that I would like to have that ("ftp://ftp.sileman.pl/pub/kernel/") mapped to my disk ("q:"), how can I do that?


Many thanks!

Not sure if FTP locations could be mapped as drive letter. Have you tested in to Windows Explorer?

[macabre13]

Yes and it failed.
I was able to add it to my network place, but not mapped as localdrive.

How ever I did search the net, and found some apps that can do that. Unfortunately I think that those apps simply use some kind of ftp_clinet as virtual drive driver and that how the mapping is done.
Correct me if Im wrong, please ;)

Yes, virtual drive is the only possibility. In that case you must send request to FTP site, get the content and update into your driver software. Virtual CD driver do that stuff.
