Here is a quick solution based on the old insecure FTP (just as secure as AFS space that requires Plant Text passwords). Open IE Type ftp:[log in to unmask] a box will come up for your password In the right view a window open with folder that you can drop stuff on. Just like a mapped drive. Add it to your favorites. Open the favorites and edit the properties to say [log in to unmask] drag it to the desktop You can change the icon to a folder that looks like a mapped drive.
