I have never had to enter a drive letter when ftp'ing anywhere. I think you should try ftp'ing to your windows machine using another ftp program, and discover what you have to enter to get to the CDROM. It would not surprise me if there was a configuration item for your windows FTP host that allowed you to set the root directory for people ftp'ing in. (Something like "default directory", under "FTP", under "SETUP" perhaps ?) You would point this root dir at your CDROM. Anthony
