Default What's the best way to forward SMB TCP port 445 to somethinghigher than 1024 on Windows?

Hi Paul,
Can you help unstuck us on doublebackslash syntax?

The doublebackslash syntax works _great_ with WebDAV servers on Android:

For example this mounts Android filesystems over WiFi as a removable drive:
net use X: \\192.168.1.6@8080\DavWWWRoot\
NOTE: This has a huge advantage that "DavWWWRoot" is a WebDAV keyword!

But, I can't figure out the doublebackslash syntax for FTP servers!

This doubleslash syntax works just fine as a "network location"
(Using the default of "francis" for both the login & passwd.)

But I can't, for the life of me, figure out the doublebackslash syntax!
http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=8734999ftpshare02.jpg
Since these syntax attempts fail every time for me:
dir :2221
net use \\192.168.1.6@2221\Root
etc.

I suspect DOS will work just fine, if we can just figure out the syntax.
Can you, or anyone, help us figure out the FTP doublebackslash syntax?


Mapping a share to a drive letter, works for smb.

FTP is a different URI and protocol.

There's an example of mapping an FTP site here.
I'm not convinced this is exactly what you want.

When they do it here, it doesn't have a drive letter.
What exactly has been mapped ? What is the access syntax ?
Explorer is supporting the URI, rather than some other
layer.

I would have to set up an FTP server to test. Something
I don't normally keep running here.

This goes to a whole bunch more trouble to achieve
that result. It's an "ftp use" equivalent to "net use",
complete with adding what appears to be a parallel stack
for storage. This appears to be free.
