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.

SIMPLEFTP(1) InterNetNews Documentation SIMPLEFTP(1)
NAME
simpleftp - Rudimentary FTP client
SYNOPSIS
simpleftp url [...]
DESCRIPTION
simpleftp is a Perl script that provides basic support for fetching files with FTP in a batch oriented fashion. It takes one or more FTP
URLs on the command line. The file(s) will be retrieved from the remote server and placed in the current directory with the same basename
as on the remote; e.g., <ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/usenet/CONFIG/active.gz> is stored as active.gz in the current directory.
The script properly understands usernames, passwords and ports specified as follows:
ftp://user:password@host:port/path/file
BUGS
simpleftp is an extremely poor substitute for more complete programs like the freely available wget or ncftp utilities. It was written
only to provide elementary support in INN for non-interactive fetching of the files in <ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/pgpcontrol/> or
<ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/usenet/CONFIG/> without requiring administrators to install yet another package. Its shortcomings as a general
purpose program are too numerous to mention, but one that stands out is that downloaded files by simpleftp override existing files with the
same name in the local directory.
