ftp would be the best way to go and you can setup folders on the
desktop for that...I dont recall how under win ME but I know that in
XP its very easy...Personally I would upgrade from ME as IMHO even
windows 98 is an upgrade perhaps ven 3.1 ;-) under xp you can create
a place under my network places that logs you in directly via ftp but
looks just like the rest of your folders (to a degree)...
