  Not that it matters, because the end result is the same, but (IMO) the
issue is not so much that "FTP does NOT support UNC", but that 'net use'
(and the underlying components) have no support to map a drive letter to
a FTP server.

  Theoretically speaking, 'net use' *could* have a FTP syntax similar to
the WebDAV syntax. The point is that is *does not* have it.

  'net use' can/does already handle 'dotted domain name' in its '/USER:'
option, can/does already handle IP addresses in its 'computer' name
parameter and can/does already handle port numbers, so there is no
technical reason that 'net use' couldn't map a drive letter to a ftp
server. The third-party add-one FtpUse [1] shows that all of this is
techincally feasible, it 'just' hasn't been implemented. :-)

  So (IMO) the point is that - for very good reasons - Microsoft (and
others) never added FTP (server) support to 'net use' et al.
