Sounds (perhaps) more like a job for Samba than FTP.
I'd agree with Kevin, but if you do want FTP then maybe try a proper FTP
client rather than IE as they may do what you want. Try maybe FileZilla
or CuteFTP.
I've used Filezilla a lot and like it. IE's FTP functions are a
[censored] piece of [censored]. (what did you expect? ;).
Another solution you might consider is Unison (or some other file
system synchronizer), to make everyone's files available on the
laptops even when they are not connected to a network. I use the
Cygwin command line version on Windows laptops to sync with a
FreeBSD central server, but I'm pretty sure there is a Windows GUI
version available as well. The great bonus of the CLI way is being
able to script it and make it a (mostly) hands off solution.
If you go that way, be sure all the Unison versions match on every
host (so be careful with portupgrade and friends).
