What is the problem you are having with rclone?
I'd like to create a NETWORK drive MOUNT on Windows without specifying a "share" portion for the volname value that forms the UNC path.
Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.
C:\Users\Bob> rclone version
rclone v1.66.0
- os/version: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro 22H2 (64 bit)
- os/kernel: 10.0.19045.4412 (x86_64)
- os/type: windows
- os/arch: amd64
- go/version: go1.22.1
- go/linking: static
- go/tags: cmount
Which cloud storage system are you using? (eg Google Drive)
n/a
The command you were trying to run (eg rclone copy /tmp remote:tmp)
rclone mount "LG_V60_FTP:" "*" --volname "\\V60-FTP"
Please run 'rclone config redacted' and share the full output. If you get command not found, please make sure to update rclone.
C:\Users\Bob>rclone config redacted
[LG_V60_FTP]
type = ftp
host = XXX
user = XXX
port = 4355
pass = XXX

First off, GREAT new tool I've discovered here in "rclone"!!! OK, now to my question...
With the "rclone mount" command above, I get a FIXED drive mount of the FTP server at UNC path "\V60-FTP" [note only ONE backslash]. Not sure why only one backslash, and why I get a FIXED drive instead of a network drive mount here. But that is not really what I'm asking for help with here. What I'd like to know is: is it possible to get a NETWORK drive mount of the FTP server with a UNC path of "\\V60-FTP".
Let me try to explain a bit better. Forget "rclone" for a moment. I have a SMB server with a number of shares. I can access it in Window Explorer via "\\MyServer". Windows Explorer lists as folders, all the SMB shares "MyServer" is serving. I can then double-click a folder/share and explore deeper into that SMB share.
I'd like to do the same with an FTP server via an "rclone mount". An rclone lsd "LG_V60_FTP:" lists two folders/shares -- "device" and "sdcard". So after mounting with "rclone" [rclone mount "LG_V60_FTP:" "*" --volname "\\V60-FTP"], I'd like to access the server as a NETWORK drive and see the list of it's shares/folders by entering "\\V60-FTP" in Windows Explorer.
I know I can add a "dummy" name at the start of the volname [rclone mount "LG_V60_FTP:" "*" --volname "\\something\V60-FTP"]. Then I get a NETWORK drive mount that I can access via UNC path "\\something\V60-FTP". Or I could add a "dummy" name at the end of the volname [rclone mount "LG_V60_FTP:" "*" --volname "\\V60-FTP\something"]. Then I get a NETORK drive mount that I can access via UNC path "\\V60-FTP\something". But my question is, can I get a NETWORK drive mount of the FTP server at UNC path "\\V60-FTP"?
