FTP software

[Tom Klingler]

The product Bill mentions sounds like it provides an environment similar to
Samba in a Linux environment.  Samba allows PC users to map to a directory
on a Linux box, making their web documents directory look just like any
other mapped drive, thereby allowing them to upload files to their web site
just by drag-and-drop.
