Your computer will be visible in the left hand pane with all of the drives, as well as the ftp site. Thus you can drag and drop files from one to the other. John W.

I obviously was a little unspecific. I was trying to find out if there was a simple method for mapping a drive letter to a remote html site...Ironically I know the methods of connecting older versions of Windows like Win32 and Window95...using the LMHOST file but the new versions do not seem to work the same way. I finally gave up and am now implementing VPN instead :-( Thank you very much for your help.

Also see that spaces are inserted using their ascii number. Seth On Fri, 2003-02-14 at 15:25, Jim Lawrence (AccessD) wrote: > Hi All: > > This is a little off topic.
