at least with WinXP, I remember being able to do "Map network drive" 
with FTP servers.

annoyingly, I don't seem able to do this with Windows 7, which seems to 
only like shared-folders, and seemingly then, only those shared by other 
Windows 7 computers (it can't seem to access WinXP shared folders for 
some reason, just gives some sort of domain log-in box thingy and 
refuses to go any further...). (IIRC, it still worked for Vista, apart 
from Vista seemingly always defaulting to MSHOME for the workgroup 
rather than WORKGROUP)

hence, sadly, for these uses, FTP ended up replacing the use of shared 
folders...

because, at least FTP still works, even if I can't map it as a network 
drive for whatever reason.

the main difference this makes is mostly that it makes one unable to 
directly open edit files on an FTP server, but have to have a local copy 
to edit stuff.

or such...
