Net Drive is a free tool from Novell that allows you to map a network drive (in Windows) to a FTP or WebDAV resource. The program also allows you to seamlessly connect to a Novell iFolder server as well. This is a great piece of functionality for Windows users to speed up the process of mapping network drives.
It’s not surprising that Novell would offer a service like this as a way of essentially marketing their tools to users. Still, it’s a classy offering from the company and as it’s free I encourage you to take a look at it if you get an opportunity.

NetDrive is a great tool, BUT…
If anything goes wrong for a second with the FTP connection, it hangs, and doesn’t come out alive. You can’t kill the process or any process dependent on it and have to do a cold shutdown.
I like this tool alot, but am not using since this happens way too often. It may be handy for bulk transfers, but not for regular saves, chances are bigger for it to hang.
