Mapping an FTP server as a Drive Letter

Does anyone know if its possible in XP to map a network drive (say F:\) to an FTP server ?

I am sure I saw a way using XP out of the box to do this ??

certainly is, just right click "my computer" and select "map network drive", then click the link that says "sign up for online storage", this will give you a box you can put the ftp address etc into.

Just a tip .. because I didn't know this feature existed till I read this thread, thanks Owen .. you need to use the full URL including protocol prefix, ie. ftp://www.somesite.com to tell Explorer to use FTP protocol.
