Map FTP server as a Local Disk Drive on Windows
Windows Command to Mount a Remote Share as a Local Hard Drive using the FTP protocol
The FTPUSE command maps a remote share (FTP server) as a local drive, so you can use the FTP online storage server of your choice as a local hard drive. FTPUSE is a free application, disks mapped using FTPUSE can be accessed by any application (e.g. Windows Explorer, Total Commander, MS-DOS command shell).
The FTPUSE command syntax is similar to NET USE syntax, as follows:
Syntax
FTPUSE devicename [ftphostname[/remotepath] [password]]
[/USER:username]
[/NOPASSIVE]
[/OWNERACCESSONLY]
[/PORT:portnumber]
[/DEBUG]
[[/DELETE]]
