Bad guide. Why would you censor part of the ftp url instead of simply using a fake url so we can see how it’s formatted? Instead of having “codrutneagu########com” (censored), why not do something like “codrutneagu.example.com”. Use placeholder examples instead of censoring parts of it.
I can see how you’re ADDING the ftp server to the windows explorer. Where is the mapping happening?
Mapping means associating it with a drive letter (A: to Z:)
Codrut, I have yet to get two computers networked since MS dropped Homegroup.
I have two machines, both running Win10 Pro, that were on a Workgroup.
With the last update I’ve managed to get very little communication between the two?
Win1064 sees Win1032 but pops an error when I try to connect.. Win1032 is not accessible???
Win1032 sees Win1064 and I can move files from the 64 bit machine to the 32bit machine. One way movement only????
Is there a replacement Tutorial available that outlines the steps to connect these two machines wirelessly, using a HotSpot? The machines are both in the same home office only a few feet apart.
Thanks
Sorry, but with my opinion, it’s not a tutorial to map ftp server as local drive.
After all, we see server in My Computer, but it’s not mapped to any drive, so external software (like Total commander for example) wouldn’t see this as a drive, so it’s useless in this kind of situations.

Hi,
How can I make the netwerk drive to be available for 2 or 3 accounts and/or on different devices?
I had made it all working with the use of FTPuse.
It still works on my laptop but no longer on my husbands laptop. why??
I tried to set it all up again. But the result is the same. On my laptop all works fine but on the other laptop no acces to our shared drive.
Any clues or hints?
Do the other computers have access to the same network? Did they set the network connection as Private (Trusted) instead of Public?
Clickbait. You did a lot of stuff, but not what you said this article was about. Lame.
it said in the search results that it would give directions on mapping an internet location in file explorer
does everything BUT that
Thanks!

How do you add a network drive letter to a FTP site using WIN8.1 “Connect to a Website that you can use to store your documents and pictures.”
It’s also important to mention that the FTP solution is read-only, which is kind of useless for the only reason it’s needed: web development !
