[AccessD] OT: Delete from FTP

Hi Gustav:

..But if it provides a connection between a couple of folders, on remote/LAN
drives, that would not normally be connectable through standard 'map network
drives' is it not tunneling? Currently I have a number of drive letters
connected to shares on remote sites, off the server (2003), with no extra
software.

To actually run remote software it still requires, TermServer, XP Remote or
Hamachi/UltraVNC. 

As I have not tested the Novell software yet, am I making assumptions or am
I missing something?

Jim

Hi Jim

Don't get too excited. It won't allow you to attach databases at a FTP
server as it just hides the transfer between the FTP server and a local temp
folder by a clever caching mechanism.

Wow Gustav, that is a nice little gem. 

Could have used that some time ago... even made a request to the list at the
time.

Hi Mark

You can attach the FTP folder as a driver letter using Novell NetDrive
(free):

Then you can use normal file operations from VBA using that drive letter.
