Subject:	SCOUG-Programming: FTP drive letter mapping

Content Type: text/plain

This is on the FTP client side of things, not the server side where our
FTP Server project is, but programmers generally are the first to know
how to do something.

How can I map a drive letter to an FTP site and then access files on the
site as if it were local. Sort of like NFS (Network File System) or
TVFS (Toronto Virtual File System), but using FTP. I realize that a lot
of file actions won't be available (I don't think there's any "seek"
command in FTP). Do I need an IFS (Installable File System)? Is there
a client that can do a local mirror of an FTP site, which can then be
mapped?
