The FTPUSE command maps a remote share (FTP server) as a local drive, so you can use the FTP server of your choice as a local hard drive. FTPUSE is a free application which was developed during production of the network backup suite Ferro Backup Syst
em, but disks mapped using FTPUSE can be accessed by any application (e.g. Windows Explorer, Total Commander, MS-DOS command shell).

@Bryan, your example creates a reference to the drive and lets you browse the files thru Explorer, but it does not assign an actual drive letter as this application does.
