Mounting SSH/SFTP shares on Windows 7 [duplicate]

Mounting SSH/SFTP shares on Windows 7 [duplicate]

I'm fairly unfamiliar with Windows, especially Windows 7, but using it for a school project; essentially I have a directory accessible through SSH that I would want to mount in Windows 7 the same way you would do it through sshfs in Linux or OS X, but I don't know of any FUSE port for Windows 7. Does anyone know any easy way to accomplish this in Windows 7?

"Take a look at Dokan SSHFS for Windows. Dokan SSHFS is a program that mounts remote file systems using SSH. You will need to install the MSVC 2005 redistributable and the Dokan library available on the SSHFS download page.

Another solution is to use MindTerm along with NetDrive (both have free home versions):

Download and extract mindTerm
Run mindterm.jar (double click it if you can, otherwise in command
prompt type in java -jar mindterm.jar)
Type in the host you want to ssh into followed by the username and
password
In the menu click on Plugins>FTP To SFTP Bridge…
Type in 127.0.0.1 for the Listen address
Type in 21 for the Listen port
Select the Remote system type
Click Enable
Click Dismiss
Next we want to install NetDrive
Once netdrive is installed, open it up, and click New Site on the
bottom
Type in localhost (or whatever you want to call it) for the Site name
Type in localhost for the Site IP
Type in 21 for the Port
Select FTP for the Port
Select a Drive letter
Check Connect as anonymous
Click Save
Click Connect
Click the X to close the window (will minimize to system tray)

There you have it! A SSH/SFTP
connection as a drive in Windows. I
have tested it in Windows Vista,
however it should work just fine in
Windows XP.
