No, unless they do it for you. Believe me you wouldn't want that to work <s>. If anybody could create a share you'd be in major trouble.

>I can see the table when I put FTP://128.241.155.30 in the address in Windows Explorer and then log in, but I can't map it to a drive letter or share it.

That's different FTP is a high level application protocol and that has nothing to do with drive mapping over TCP/IP, which is a network protocol.

>BTW, love Web Connection, Help Builder, and your book!

Thanks. Glad you like 'em. New version updates of WWWC and Help Builder are due at the first of the new year.
