Progress here: I was recommended to Netdrive which is free for non-commercial use and maps a URL and specified port to a drive letter. Only problem is it won't handle SSL but the workaround is to upload over a VPN.
I'm now using XCOPY to archive 2 gb of e-mails (10 years' worth) offsite; will take all told about 6 hrs. I hope in a couple of weeks to write up a HowTo for a system (like this one) which will work as a mapped drive, also with FTP and RSYNC. Wl post to the list when I get everything working. Benefit of this approach is you can schedule complete (differential) backups transparently in the background with RSYNC, but if you need a file, or need to archive just a single file, you can do it with copy or even access it in a browser if you're at someone else's machine. Tks to all for your help. Stay tuned.
