   Even so, it has been working for me on Windows 10 for, oh, 5 years or so.   
      
   When I want to mount the Android filesystem over the LAN as a drive, I run:   
    C:\> net use Z: \\192.168.1.2@8080\DavWWWRoot   
      
   Note that DavWWWRoot only has meaning on Windows as it's a Windows keyword.   
      
   When I no longer need Android as a drive letter, I unmount it from Windows.   
    C:\> net use Z: /delete   
      
   FTP is similar but you can't mount FTP as a drive letter (AFAIK) without   
   adding third-party tools (e.g., FTPUse or NetDrive) to the Windows PC.
