You can also place
sound files in ~/System/Library/Sounds/ for them to show up system wide.
Just a quick not to say that you should NEVER put user files in any
subfolder of the /System folder.
this is reserved for System files hence the name.

In windows it's a program that connects to FTP sites as if they were

The reviews seem to be mixed with some loving it and others having
installation or GPS lock issues. From the comments thus far it still
sounds like it's the best thing out there so far for the iPhone.

You can make an ftp site show up as a disk drive using apple-k to
connect to server and then put in ftp://some_ftp_site.com. The downside
is it is read only. Not sure why that is.
