Using FTP to map drive

hello, FTP connection works fine, but would there be a way to set a drive letter to the open connetion
why? well i want to automate a process of uploading /deleting/ downloading files from ftp site to local drive
now i must drag files from left open window to right open window by hand

You don't usually need to map a drive to automate things.

Could you say what you want to do in more detail?

Hello Leo,

We use now Webdrive as WEBdav to set e.g. F: drive to a ftp server

Then VB6 programs i see it as a regular drive and in my software i can copu /delete /open files on F:

On local network i do net use x: \192.168.3.1 /persistent:yes

So if i could set a FTP connection in opus to a drive map i would be happy

Regards jack

If you need to map a drive so that external programs that don't understand FTP can do things to an FTP site, I'd strongly recommend going in another direction, as it's virtually impossible to do that reliably. There have been add-ons for Windows which do that, but I don't think they ever worked that well as it's an inherently difficult/bad idea, at least in my experience. (It's possible there are some good ones out there, or ones which will work well enough for the program in question, so it might still be worth investigating. I haven't seen or tried that kind of thing in a long time, since the WinXP or maybe even Win9x days, so my knowledge of them is out of date.)

Mapping FTP sites to drive letters so that external programs can access them transparently, thinking they are just normal folders, is not something we plan to add to Opus, as we think it would be next to impossible to make it function well. FTP and windows drives are just too different to make one look like the other to programs that don't know anything about FTP.

In terms of webdav, if you just want to have a button or hotkey in Opus which runs the net use command like you're doing already, you can certainly do that in Opus. Is that what you're looking for?

(Webdav isn't FTP, however. They're two separate protocols.)

Hello Leo, your remark, """"In terms of webdav, if you just want to have a button or hotkey in Opus which runs the net use command like you’re doing already, you can certainly do that in Opus. Is that what you’re looking for??""
