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!

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.
