Mapping a Network Drive - Anthony - 18-10-2009

I am not sure how many people know that you can map a network drive from your Windows machine to your web server and pretty much use Explorer as a FTP client. I just figured it out yesterday and I am pretty pleased with how it works.

Windows 7
Open My Computer and right click, chose add network location.
Click Next, Next, type in your FTP address, Next..
Type your Username and that's it.

You'll be prompt for a password when you first try to access it.

Nice. Thanks. It's so much easier than using FireFTP. Big Grin

I used to do that with XP and didn't like it.
