Windows 10: How to tell which protocol a mapped drive on Windows 10 is using (SMB/FTP/etc.)

I have a mapped drive on a Windows 10 machine and I'm just trying to figure out what network protocol it's using. Properties doesn't give me any additional info here.

Map FTP Directory as a Drive

I'm trying to map an FTP on my local net RELIABLY.

FTP is needed because SMB is so incredibly slow! 1/2 the speed of FTP.

PROBLEM: Windows cannot reliably and consistently stay connected even to the net "location" that is mapped. Error: "Windows cannot access this folder." But of course, I can connect any time with FileZilla, Directory Opus, etc. Windows is not reliable.

So, we're still looking for a way to map a DRIVE that reliably stays alive.

DriveMaker looks OK but they put an arbitrary file limit of 4GB.

 

Map FTP Directory as a Drive

Those directions are obviously not for win 10. (there is no computer under the start menu)

There are quite a few ways to mount an ftp server/drive/directory for example

Mapped Drives Issues

To clarify .... the issue is the Windows 10 OS. It is with Windows File Explorer. The Mapped drives used to appear in File Explorer's left panel list of drives and folders. Two days ago File explorer stopped show the mapped drives. so not they don;t appear in the list of Drives and folders.

I did, it has no effect. I also check the NAS devices they support SMB 2.0. Also I have several other computers on my home network they work fine with the mapped drives and They do not have SMB 1 turned on. So it is something that happened to the computer in question.
