Hi Everyone,

Is there any program out there that will allow me to synchronize the "My Documents" folder on my hard drive with an identical folder on an FTP server? My computer is constantly connected to the Internet, and I'd like it to automatically back up my work to a remote location.

Is something like this possible? I tried the demo of the Iomega Easy Backup software, but you need to pick a local drive for the backup. Right now I only have one hard drive, so there's not really much point in backing it up to a different spot on the same drive.

Is there any way to trick Windows XP into treating the FTP site as another physical drive?

Any help would be appreciated!
