Does this freeSShd allow me to create something like a mapped folder to an sftp server? But, would like to know if it can be done now. I am afraid, it cannot.

Also, over time it turned out to be badly unmaintained. NetDrive does not work correctly with SSH. Don't use it. Add a comment.

I'd stay away from it. Community Bot 1. Thanks, I commented on that question. But I was searching for some native tool, so I raised the question : — Igor B. Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes.

I kind of had the impression that they were kind of Explorer add-in things, but that they didn't really present a drive to the system.

Nope, both of them DO actually mount your remote server as a drive with drive letter in Windows. Download them and try yourself. Interesting: I had small troubles with ExpanDrive it would sometimes exit without warning when disconnecting a drive. While removing it to try WebDrive, I found the Dokan library still in place, and I wonder if it was causing trouble for sftp net drive and expandrive. NetDrive may be easy to configure, but for some reason I can't get it to talk to the system in question, and it's error message is completely useless.

From what I can tell, 1. ExpanDrive works for me, and their licensing per-user, not per computer is very reasonable. And on further issues with Expandrive: for unknown reasons it's window stopped showing up, making it impossible to use.

ThiefMaster Heavy agreed with you,the read file performance of samba in virtual machine is too bad. Michael Haren Michael Haren It'll automatically initiate the tunnel when you connect.

If you set it to run on startup and use private-key login with no passphrase warning, not secure!!! I'd rather not set up samba since it's an extra step the rest of the class won't use.

Also I trust SSH more then Samba and the campus network isn't what I'd call secure considering how many students are on it with personal computers running god knows what. Jared: if you went with samba, you'd have to tunnel it through SSH anyway--so it'd be equally safe as ssh.

If you really want an easy drag-drop method, then WinSCP is nice, as suggested by others. Site does not exist anymore — pal4life. EDIT: well, sorry.
