How can I map to an FTP server as a drive?

A. Its possible to configure a machine to map to a FTP server as a drive (for instance the Microsoft site) providing the machine runs both NetBEUI and TCP/IP. Perform the following:

1. Perform a NSLOOKUP for the FTP site, e.g.
   nslookup ftp.microsoft.com
   make a note of the IP address
2. Edit the LMHOSTS file (in %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc)
3. Add line
   <ip address> MicrosoftFTP #PRE
   e.g. 207.46.133.140 MicrosoftFTP #PRE
4. Save the file
5. Open a CMD.EXE session. Enter command:
   nbtstat -R
   This purges and reloads the name table cache
6. Type command:
   net view \\MicrosoftFTP
   You should see information on the site
7. Now map a drive (to share data)
   net use * \\MicrosoftFTP\data /user:anonymous
8. All done. It will pass a drive letter for the connection
