Does anyone have know why you cannot map a drive letter to an FTP drive

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.

I know this is a late addition, but happened to see this comment from Gizmo about NetDrive and thought of this thread:

NetDrive is available at http://www.netdrive.net/download.html and is a 49 MB download.  The program is malware-free according to VirusTotal and Web of Trust.  Prices start at $40 after the 30-day evaluation period ends. However, after the evaluation period, the program will continue to work and will allow you a single connection. So if you only need to create one external drive letter, such as to your web site or your Google Drive, the program still remains very useful indeed.

The File Transfer Client You Already Know How to Use

WebDrive makes accessing and editing files on corporate SFTP, WebDAV and SharePoint Servers as easy as editing any file on your computer. Easily update files on Amazon S3 or other cloud servers.  Open, edit, save. It’s that simple.

Easy to Use

WebDrive’s instantly familiar interface lets you fluently work with cloud storage, local files and files on remote servers through one common access point. Use WebDrive instead of the traditional FTP Client, WebDAV Client or SFTP Client to reduce the steps of updating remote content. Connect to popular cloud storage servers through the convenience of a drive letter.

Easy to Manage

WebDrive was created with IT managers in mind, so supporting WebDrive on a large number of desktops is simple.

No more installation insanity. WebDrive lets you preconfigure settings and distribute them to your users. Protocols, ports, IP Addresses and other settings are configured once by the IT group. Users don’t need to know any information except their username and password. This avoids installation errors and manually configuring dozens or hundreds of PCs.

Reduced Training and Troubleshooting. Since users already know the WebDrive interface, you reduce the training time often associated with implementing new applications. WebDrive’s cost-effective multi-seat licensing allows easy standardization of your file transfer software, rather than having users download a variety of applications that your IT team has to support.

Easy to Try

To try WebDrive in your own environment, you can download a free 20-day, full-function WebDrive trial—without filling out registration forms.
