Is there an open source tool to map SFTP connections as a Windows mapped drive?

I know there are many commercial products that accomplish this task, but I'm looking for something like SSHFS but for Windows systems, which is open source.

WinSCP FAQ points to the the KeepUpTODate feature, which can be used as a workaround, but it's not exactly like a mapped drive, although it's close.

From serverfault Tom Feiner

• The standard choice is ExpanDrive (formerly SftpDrive), which is neither OSS, nor free ($39 for full version).

  I haven't yet found mature OSS alternative.

• The only opensource project I know of that does this Dokan SSHFS, whichs is basically FUSE for windows. My experiences with it aren't very positive, though (very unstable).

  I now use ExpanDrive, which, unfortunately, isn't free or open source. It does work though ;)

• Ftpdrive.
  Not an open source, but a free tool, so you may want to check it out.

  Works perfectly for plain FTP. I have not used it for SFTP but on the homepage the developer claims "Both unsecured and secured by SSL/TLS FTP connections supported".

  Tom Feiner : Thanks for the answer, but unfortunately, FTP + SSL/TLS is not the same as SFTP, this will not work against an SSH/SFTP server, and ,as you said is not open source - so there's no way to know what's in the binary.

• I had this question today as well, and came across this good article, telling about 2 programs mentioned, SftpDrive and Webdrive:

  From Igor B.

• As a perhaps overly complicated solution, if you have a Linux box on the local network (or a Linux VM running on the machine you want to connect to the SFTP resource with) you could try mount the resource using SSHFS on that machine and share the resulting filesystem to the Windows box via Samba...

  From David Spillett

• I got here from another recent question.

  Take a look at freeSSHd (it also supports FTP and, of course lets you SCP too).
  Unfortunately it is not open-source. However, its quite good.

  From nik

• Using SSH port forwarding, an FTP server running on the remote end accepting only local connections, and native Windows FTP mapping,

  You could try what I suggested here. This is FTP over SSH, mind you. It may not be what you asked for specifically by name, but it might meet your use case.

• Try RedDrive. It's not actively developed anymore (since '08), but it's (apparently) free.

  From Seth

• The only freeware tool I found that can map files accessed via SFTP to a Windows drive is Red Drive.

  It's no longer developed, and the "replacement", AnyClient, doesn't do drive mapping. There is also a bogus error when you create a connection - Recovery policy configured for this system contains invalid recovery certificate. Other than that, it worked with one SFTP server and failed authenticating me to another one.

  From dandv

• Have you tried Swish? With Swish you can access the files and folders you have stored on another computer securely via SFTP. Swish is a Windows Explorer extension so managing your remote files works just like it does for local ones. It is under GPL open source license.
