Remote FTP folder as a mapped drive on a windows 10 computer
I would like to map an FTP folder on a remote site as a mapped drive on a Windows 10 computer.
Is this possible?

You can do that with WS_FTP (Ipswitch). I have used this for using mapped folders on the remote machine.

Thanks and how can I map an FTP folder as if it was a drive?
I map a folder so I can see it (as a Drive). Then start WS_FTP and in one window use the local folder and in the other window use the mapped folder.

WS_FTP does not then allow you to choose a folder that you are connected to and map it then?
I don't quite follow.

WS_FTP assumes the folders are available to use. Mapping a folder is accomplished in Windows via Map Folder or NET USE if remote. Once mapped, WS_FTP can use the folders.
In some remote shell systems I have used, opening up the remote system may show you the folders already available to you.

Thanks. I am familiar on how to map folders in Windows however I don't quite understand how this is accomplished using this software.

Why use 3rd party tools?
Just map it as a drive with ftp:// prefix

Thanks I tried this however it is malfunctioning, it is not retaining the full credentials, therefore for me it is not a reliable solution.

ExpanDrive and Webdrive will do the FTP mapping..
