Hi Roger.

You can see your FieldPoint in Windows Explorer by typing ftp://(your IP address) into the address bar. This will not display as a lettered drive in My Computer, but if you want to have a folder that will connect to that FieldPoint controller, you can make a shortcut to the device by creating a new shortcut in Windows, and give the location as "explorer ftp://(your IP address)"

I hope this helps.
