There IS a reason to use 3rd party tools like FTPDrive. The standard windows ‘mont’ does not allow for random access, i.e. it would download the whole file before you can access the file. And it is not acceptable for big file where you need random access like movies.

I map FTP folders to drive letters so I can edit files on them remotely using my IDE.

I’m try to map ftp://cypernetnews.com as the examples. After I finish the error message is:” Windows cannot access this folder. Make sure you typed the file name correctly and that you have permission to access this folder.”

Have you ever meet this error? Have anybody help me? Thank you very much!

When I’m trying to open file using vista mapper – I get a firefox window asking me a password. NetDrive is much better.

To copy using ftp and batch command you may use -s switch
ftp -s:command_file
-s switch specifies a text file containing FTP commands; the commands will automatically run after FTP starts.

I use a tunnel to fool the Windows ftp into thinking my ssh server is a ftp server. This way I get the ftp connectivity, but encrypted. The only drawback is you need a third-party application running (I have it in the background).

Download Bitvise Tunnelier (it’s free and available portable). Enable its FTP-to-SFTP bridge and connect to your ssh server. Then when Windows asks for your ftp server, type “ftp://localhost/”

It works smoothly and best of all, all connections are encrypted.
I use Bitvise Tunnelier to tunnel all sorts of connections like VNC and WebDAV. I can connect to any port with only the ssh port open to the public. I love it!
