How to map a ftp folder in Windows 7 in 10 easy steps.

For those who find ftp is too complicated. I have tried to make this guide as simple as possible.

What you need before you begin -

  • Your ftp server address which is usually like - ftp.yourdomain.com
  • Your ftp username and password

Once you have the above information, then follow these steps on your Windows 7 computer -

STEP 1: Click on "Start" then on "Computer"



STEP 2: Click on "Map network drive" -



STEP 3: Now click on the link which says - "Connect to a Web site..."


STEP 4: Click "Next" on the Welcome screen -


STEP 5: Select "Choose a custom network location" and click on "Next" -


STEP 6: Enter your ftp server address and click "Next" -


STEP 7: Remove check from "log on anonymously", enter your username, and click "Next" -


STEP 8: Give a friendly name to your network location and click "Next" -


STEP 9: You are done! Click "Finish" -



STEP 10: Now, when you click on "Computer" again as in STEP 1, you will see your mapped ftp folder -


Wasn't that easy?
