mapping FTP site as local drive
I have a small problem, there is one Win98 PC on our network, and I would like to map the FTP server that we have as one of the Win98's machine's local drives. I am by no means a Windows expert, instead my area is *NIX. The webserver is just a regualar webserver, within the LAN. I tried searching the 'net, and came across people who have done it, but with no instruactions of how to do it. Does anyone have a clue how to do it? The FTP server runs just FTP services, no SMB services (naturally, otherwise id just map the SMB service directory ). Thanks.
