To be clear to all, Frank and I are in complete agreement on
_everything_ that Frank wrote in that post above.
Frank wasn't the first to tell you that you cannot use UNC via FTP. I
was, several weeks ago.
Specifically, after much experimentation, this morning, I gave up
on trying to mount Android FTP shares over WiFi as a "removable
drive" drive letter using only native Windows "net use" commands.
Again, weeks ago, I already told you that you couldn't use it in the
manner in which you were trying.
Ironically, as Frank astutely noted, "net use" works great with
WebDAV shares under the exact same conditions (even down to my
tests changing the ports and login credentials).
Of course it does. It has since Windows XP, as I told you,
previously.
I changed the login credentials and ports to match them as best I
could, and the results were astounding (to me).
WebDAV works:
o net use X: \\192.168.1.7@8000\DCIM\Camera /user:francis francis
Yep.
FTP fails:
o net use X: \\192.168.1.7@8000\DCIM\Camera /user:francis francis
Yep.
Why?
See below.
Hell if I know why.
That's obvious. You know very little...In spite of your claims to the
contrary.
Someone (like Rudy?) who understands Windows will have to explain
why. 
It's quite simple. FTP does NOT support UNC. UNC and FTP don't know
each other. Never have, never will. FTP is an ancient by todays
standards protocol; no changes are going to be made to it anytime
soon to give you any UNC support. That's just not happening. So much
code would have to be modified to allow for it, that you'd just wind
up breaking a pile of ftp servers and clients. For no gain.
Shame you wanted to be an immature little asshole towards me for
weeks now. You could have been using drive letters, mounted to your
internal/external memory (available or not, your choice) via your
entire network, had you manned up for what you did, accepted
responsibility for it, 0wned your ****up as they say where I'm from.
In the unlikely event you didn't already know, you've exceeded the
amount of time I was willing to wait on that apology by a significant
margin. Perhaps that's why you're slowing down on posts in that
thread and appear to be giving up? Can't find anyone willing to show
you how to do it, even for nothing more than to spite me? Pooh backed
out when offered, I noticed. Nice of the idiot to suggest a symlink
to you, wasn't it? How did that advice workout for you Arlen?
Come to think of it, has any of his suggestions (I bet he laughed his
****ing ass off reading your posts about libmtp) actually given you
those 'DOS' friendly drive letters you've been asking for?
You know that Windows NT doesn't have DOS though, right? What you're
calling 'DOS' is an emulated console environment. With 64bit systems,
16bit native code emulation is no more. It can still be run on those
systems, but a 3rd party app is required to play middleman.
There's no IO.SYS/MSDOS.SYS, ibm.com, etc etc etc, used for the
purposes of an NT startup, Arlen. Unlike windows 9x family and the 3x
family, NT doesn't ride on top of, or share code common natively with
DOS. It's not a glorified 'shell'.
Remember, pooh told you that net use only supported samba. YOU (yes,
you) noticed net use (by trying it no doubt, you didn't know
beforehand) noticed it worked with webdav too.
I told you it has supported webdav since the Windows XP days and even
went so far as to provide a demonstration of it that was touted as a
new 'feature' of Windows XP.
Viva la 'Web Folders'. Hehehe. Windows XP has been out for a long
long time Arlen. There's no excuse for someone like pooh with the
self proclaimed expertise (on multiple occasions mind you) to not
have known that. None whatsoever. Pooh slipped up again (it's rare,
but it happens) and showed his hand again. He's a considerable
bull****ter, don't ya know.
Ahem, well, you know that now... [g] Despite still praising him and
intentionally not crediting me for my posts that you find are
beneficial. I think that's pretty good, considering you've previously
referred to me as a moron, stupid, etc. I'm stupid, yet I provided
two posts (hehe, quite a bit more, but who's counting) that you
yourself admit have technical value. Thanks, I guess?
