But I keep getting error 67, I might have done something wrong because I also get a 67 trying to connect NetBIOS drives... And anyway, NET USE is said to be bogus with secure WebDAV, so won't help a lot I suppose. Netdrive works fine, but have a big big big bug with cache : it cleans the cache every time you disconnect the drive (and you do so when you exit windows). This cache-cleaning happens whichever the "keep-cache-entries" parameters you configure. That makes it quite unusable with a slow connection.

You have to use netdrive to map a ftp to a drive letter, you can get netdrive at the following site: http://www.loyola.edu/5555/netdrive/installingnetdrive/ Guys you are right, I mixed this one up.

This tip does not work. It just adds a new entry to "My Network Places" but does not associate it to a drive letter. +1 with JeSTer. This tip does not work.

Sure it's in "My Network Places", but that doesn't help me if I want to write a script to copy files to it or something. So is it just me or does this not work as far as putting a drive letter to it?
