Using PC's CD-ROM from A1200?

[Ren]

I have an Amiga 1200 (Kickstart 3.0) with a PCMCIA network adapter, which is hooked to a LAN via router.

The question is, is it possible to use the CD-ROM in the networked PC from the Amiga as if the CD-ROM had been physically connected to the Amiga (ie. you get an icon for the CD-ROM on the workbench)?

Also, is there a way to backup whole Amiga HD to PC via TCP/IP? I know I could stick the HD in the PC and using winUAE make an HD image, but this it too messy.

Thanks for that. I was hoping there is a set of programs for PC and Amiga which let you use PCs drives from the Ami (I've seen such software for C=64 and 8bit Atari) but the solutions you guys gave me should be ok.

Just one more question.. What is the best Amiga command line FTP client? And could I just run the client from the HD or would I need to make a boot disk and run it from the floppy?

I'm sorry if this sounds like a silly question, but I'm new to Amiga (even that I had my first computer back in '84).
