Wah.
I'll be happy to refund your money.
For some reason, I thought you wanted to share the Win98 via the FTP server.

God only knows how many abbreviations of FTP I could think of. I may just have to live (or rather, the user will have to live) with having a shortcut instead of a mapped drive, or just install win2k (which supports FTP-mapped drives). I've heard of it being done, but like so many MS-related stuff, it takes a win32 kernel hacker to find out how to do it, which I definetely am not.
I found a product on-line that does exactly what you are wanting to do, although it $29.95 per copy. I loaded a demo copy on my box and sure enough, it worked. Never thought of that before.
But my question is this: If the network is so secure, why use a protocol that sends the password in clear text? I assume that you are using a dummy account that is limited to only the FTP sub-dir only.
Have a good 'un.

ftp(4) File Formats ftp(4)
NAME
ftp - FTP client configuration file
SYNOPSIS
/etc/default/ftp
DESCRIPTION
Use the ftp file to configure the behavior of the FTP client. Lines that begin with a hash symbol ("# ") are treated as comment lines and
are ignored.
Behavior Directives
The ftp file supports the following behavior directives:
FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST=yes | no
The ls command of the ftp client sends an NLST to the FTP Server by default. Several non-Solaris clients send LIST instead. In order to
make the Solaris ftp client send LIST when the ls command is issued, set FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST to no. The value of FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST is yes
by default.
If the user sets a value for FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST in the user's environment, this value will override any FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST directive that is
specified in /etc/default/ftp.
