This blog is no longer updated.
Since I own the domain name for a couple more years, and the hosting was paid-in-advance, it's still here. But I've moved on to Hawaii, and no longer have the need to publish all the sorts of neat stuff that made up the contents of this website.
If you've linked to me, you are invited to unlink, as your readers will no longer be presented with new content. Thanks, Steve
Mapping an FTP Site as a Virtual Drive.

Most folks manage remote websites via FTP. Most folks download some FTP client (or use the one built into IE), and move files via the FTP application.
Wouldn't it be cool if there was a shortcut on your desktop to your "images" folder, or if drive "Q:\" was the same thing as /var/www/html?
Check out this video from engadget.com demonstrating Novell's NetDrive application. (It's Flash, not a .mpg/.avi type movie.)
Here's the problem, though. Novell can't distribute free copies of NetDrive. You have to go find it on the web. But wait, you say. Are you suggesting software piracy? No, gentle reader, for that's exactly what Novell says: "To find a download, search for netdrive.exe on the Web. Due to licensing issues, it is not a download from Novell.com."
So, head on over to Loyola.edu to download a copy and see even more pictures of how easy it is to install and run this program. (It's 5.5MB, so dialups use caution...)
And here's a 30 page .pdf document on how to use NetDrive, if the links above aren't sufficient.
...and this is what it looks like in Explorer.
