Re^2: Perl to mount a virtual filesystem on Windows?

Net::FTP can speak directly to any FTP-server without you having to register an additional device driver.

The basic idea is to write a script (or app, with the help of Wx::Perl) that, once fired up, registers an additional device drive and enables me to have convenient access to a FTP server via Net::FTP. I understood that you want to link to an FTP-server. The customary way to do this is through an FTP-client, such as Net::FTP. Going through a virtual drive to link to the FTP-server (if at all possible) would just complicate things.

You got a point there, my post was misunderstandable.. The idea is to write an end-user app, a gui with simple functions, and the underlying protocol won't be FTP, I used it just to illustrate the idea.. Thanks anyaway!	[reply]
