I want to know why would you use the other method to the other. Why use FTP Client if there is Mapping of Drive or vise versa.

...What? Do you mean using something like SMB versus FTP? they're for completely different things. – Fake Name Jun 17 '10 at 5:03
what i mean is what benefit can you get from the other process to make your workflow faster or efficient. My concern is If you can also access your server using Mapping of Drive to manage your web files/folders why bother downloading ftp clients? I like the points of Daisetsu. – Pennf0lio Jun 17 '10 at 14:52

With a mapped drive you don't have certain extendability such as SFTP. You can also better control access such as being able to log out. You can also pause, cancel, and queue uploads/downloads along with loads of other features.
