Developer’s Description

Emulates your logical drive mounting FTP servers like folders.

Emulates logical drive, where selected FTP/FTPS servers are mounted as folders. Useful for example for viewing films, listening files directly from FTP server without pre-downloading whole file. This is achieved by emulation of virtual drive, on which FTP servers are placed on the Native NT API level. FtpDrive can intercept opening ftp:// links from other applications--simple press Ctrl key while opening ftp:// path and it will be opened on FtpDrive. FTP Drive is compatible with many applications, except those, that use own drivers to access files. FtpDrive can cache directories structure and read files data.

Directories structure stored in memory, cached files resides in %TEMP%\FtpDrive.tmp\ directory, you can change caching settings. Version 3.3 fixes some bugs, added FTPS support, added files upload support, added own FTP sites editor.

Works great! (I'm using version 3.5)

Pros
Easy to setup & use.
Cons
There really isn't anything that I don't like.
Summary
Now there's a folder on My Computer that's linked directly to my remote FTP server and it functions just a folder on my notebook! It was incredibly easy to set up. As soon as I configured it, I opened My Computer and there was the remote FTP folder!! I double-clicked and it works great!!!
No better than windows

Pros
You can easily change connection settings and add/remove servers from one window.
Cons
However, it still doesn't work ANY better than windows built-in ftp client, which we all know just plain sucks. Gives constant (literally) IO errors when connecting to just about any ftp server, and won't display most folders' contents.<p>The only reason I'm even giving it a two, is because it makes the inevitable failure come faster.
Summary
Didn't work for me

Pros
Good idea, if it worked.
Cons
While saving files to the FTP server, only part of the file was uploaded, causing errors and inconsistencies that were finally found to have been caused by the program.
Summary
Does what it's supposed to, but not very user friendly

Pros
It does exactly what it's supposed to. I love the multiple connections solution that gives you a nice folder tree with all your FTP servers under one drive letter.
Cons
Had I been a mere user I wouldnt have gotten this working. It's complex and not very intuitive. If you're only a computer user, get someone more advanced to help you set it up.
Summary
It might work for you

Pros
Very few products out there to do what this one does - it allows an FTP site to be mapped to a drive letter. It also supports multiple FTP sites which all show up as directories within the one drive letter.
Cons
It worked exactly once - the first time - for me. The home directory wasn't correct, so I had to reconfigure. However, it wasn't having any of it. From then on I got nothing but error dialogues when I tried to access the FTP drive folder in explorer. Could be a compatibility problem with Vista, but it is a show stopper since it now won't log in at all - even with the same settings that worked the first time.
