  I can assure you that I know full well what FTP can and cannot do
(I've - professionally - been doing networking since the very early 70s,
before any kind of 'Internet'), but read on.

  Well, as 'Arlen' posted, 'net use' *does* work with a WebDAV server
and - in this context - WebDAV does offer similar functionality as FTP.

  So for WebDAV, 'net use' *is* "a way to access a drive" and hence
*is* "something to support internet protocols".

  The whole point is that 'net use' *does* offer WebDAV compatibility/
functionality, but for some reason does *not* offer FTP compatibility/
functionality. That might make sense to Microsoft, but it doesn't make
any sense to normal people, especially since FTP is older than WebDAV.

  Yes, that's the whole point!
  
  That's why he - and everybody else - *wants* a SMB solution, but -
unless rooted - Android can not use ports below 1024 and Windows is too
stupid to use another port (than the default 445), which most other SMB
clients/servers *can*.

  So he/everybody else *wants* a SMB solution, but *until* that actually
*works* - for a SMB server on a non-rooted Android device -, he's
looking at less-ideal alternatives.

  I can't blame you for not following all he posts, but he *did* and
*does* look into this (FTPUSE) [1], but for some reason, he can not get
it to work on Windows *10*. (He used it before on some other Windows
version - probably Windows XP - and I used (no longer need it) it on
Windows 8.1.)

  He has asked for others to test it on Windows 10, but AFAICT nobody
has done so. I wonder why!? :-)

  If you have Windows 10 and want to help him, please feel free.

  Nah! Morse code is SO old-fashioned. These days we use Avian Carriers [2]!

[1] AFAIR, he was actually the first to mention FTPUSE in these groups.
