you can map an ftp or webdav server as a network drive in XP without having to use any such tool - it's built into the OS! from My Computer, find "Map Network Drive" in the Tools menu. a window will pop up asking for a drive letter and a folder, and at the bottom is a link reading "Sign up for online storage or connect to a network server." click that link, select "Choose another network location" from the Add Network Place Wizard, and follow the wizard's prompts to add the location and login information. simple.

Mapping directly in XP as DV described is quick and easy. One issue I have is that on upload, the file date-time stamps get modified to the upload time. There is no immediately apparent way to use MDTM or to otherwise preserve the date-time. Many client and server applications support this. Does anyone out there know how to do it while mapping directly in XP?
