I love SSH. I use puTTY a lot and setup SSH tunnels inside it to do a whole raft of work.
Recently, I installed sshfs (part of the FUSE development) to allow one of my servers to mount a drive from another server in complete security. And its fast - normal transfers between the machines see about 11MB/s and with the SSH overhead it still gets over 10MB/s.
I then started thinking about the same facility from my windows desktop - and then I found it - Dokan
Install the library, install dokan-sshfs and the updated files (mentioned on the page) and there you go. Put in your auth details, the drive you want to see it as and the mount point on the host and its done. Secure, fast and brilliant!
