Ooops, I didn't read close enough,  Assumed you were talking about an ftp
site.

Sorry,

Jim, I don't know about mapping it, but I know that you can use explorer (6x
anyway) to go to the ftp site, then switch to folder view.  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.

Hi Seth:

I use a similar setting for our internal intranet. 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.
Jim

Jim,

Here's an example:

file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/sgsax/My%20Documents/test.htm

Notice the slashes are all "backwards", and the additional slash before
the drive letter.  Also see that spaces are inserted using their ascii
number.
