questorfla,
One thing to keep in mind about your difficulties doing the mapped drive through Windows 8.1 is that this isn't Microsoft's core focus. Their revenue comes from selling Office and operating systems.
We appreciate your comments that WebDrive worked so easily. Because this is our core business, and is how we make revenue, we have to make it work. We've also been doing drive mapping to FTP and other remote servers since 1998 (long before MS was doing it). Microsoft does many things, but sometimes it's better to find a specialist.
