Hello,
Some time ago I created a link to an FTP site that functions like a local directory. Recently, I needed to create another one but have forgotten how I created the first. I am able "add a network location" but that doesn't achieve the same type of connection. Look at the images below. Number one is what I want to create, number two is the network location. Note the difference in icons in the first image. In the second image I display the properties of each type of link. I also opened a DOS window. The connection I want show itself as a <DIR> while the network location shows as "***.lnk".
The type of link I want to create works much better with the interfaces of some of my installed programs, they navigate just like folders. The ***.lnk connections cannot be seen by the program's interface.
Do you recognize what kind of connection (#1) this is? And could you tell me how I can create another?
Thank you for your help, Tom
PS> I was unable to attach the images because my account wasn't verified so I will try to describe at least the icon I have. It is a open folder sitting vertically, there is an arrow in the lower left pointing upward and to the right. The properties says it is a file folder, but its' location is the ftpsite including login and password There is only one tab shown when opening the properties.
Thanks again for your help, Tom
