"net use" command only for NetBIOS folder shares and NOT for Linux/remote ftp directories ?

[Peter Waibel]

As far as I noticed the Win command "net use" is only to connect shared folders
over NetBIOS protocol.

There is no way to use "net use" to connect to ftp directories which run on a remote Linux/Unix
system. Is this correct?

Correct. NET USE has nothing to do with FTP.

Depending on your requirements (uploading to webspace?) you could use an FTP
client such as Filezilla. http://filezilla.sourceforge.net

There is a Linux service called Samba which provides the netbios
functionality. However, the server administrator would have to activate this,
and it wouldn't normally be provided on Internet servers.

net use x \\ftp.someserver.com\folder
net use x \\60.70.80.1\folder

net use x \\ftp.someserver.com\folder
net use x \\60.70.80.1\folder

That is accessing netbios shares across the internet not ftp. Not really
recommended and many ISPs block that anyway. It only works if the host
is setup for netbios file sharing. It does not work to access a folder
on an FTP server.
