I've seen code for accessing a Directory on a Web Server from Win10
PC, but it uses TNetResource which the compiler does not know.  Cannot
find which unit it may be in (or perhaps it's a Delphi item).  Anyone
got a solution, either to TNetResource or some other technique? 
(Windows Explorer finds the server and can access via username and
password.)

I dont know what work you need.You can maybe use LNET ftp component.

Check first what the web server provides. It can be FTP, HTTP or any
other protocols. Then search for library implementing that protocol.

Thanks for the responses, but the ftp solution looks a complex one
just to list a directory contents.  I may live with a Win Explorer
solution for the time being.

Win Explorer understands SMB, FTP and HTTP (when the web server is
configured to allow such action, it's not magically available even if
some packager preconfigures it). It's no way complex, unless you see
it from POV of a local file explorer.
