SftpDrive: Access your SSH server as a network drive in Windows

can access your remote files just like local files from any Windows program securely. In addition to mapping network
drives, SftpDrive will do SSH tunneling. I installed the trial (the download is less than 1.5MB) and found that the
"zero configuration" claim on its web site is absolutely true. It took less than 30 seconds to get a network

my usual SSH client—and you can set up an unlimited number of drives. SftpDrive is slick and, as far as I can
tell, performs as advertised in every respect.[Via Joey Day]

I've always found WinSCP to be quite handy.
