I am almost sure I can do this, I just have no idea how.

For ages now I have been sharing my books with a friend via Dropbox. I Connect to Folder and select my Dropbox and then Calibre thinks it is a device. I can then just Send to Main Memory of Device and it works amazing.

The thing is I now have an ftp site. I would much rather use this than Dropbox. But for the life of me I can't get Connect to Folder to recognize the ftp site. I've tried typing it in manually, I've tried selecting the mapped network drive, creating a shortcut on my desktop. I can't get it to recognize it. Am I doing something wrong?

Thank you for your help.
