Mount SSH in Windows

[VinylxScratches]

Is there any app for Windows that can mount SSH connections?

Not sure what you mean by "mount" in this case, but I used this a couple of times for college classes: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ to connect to the servers.

Personally I use Linux for SSH connections

mount SSHFS stuff you mean, i presume.

or you can do SFTP with filezilla.. which acts like ftp.

think there's uh.. winscp? that uses ssh & scp to make for a ghetto sftp implementation.

I mean for filesystem mounts in case I need to get a file from my server.

I'll check those out Colt45.

filezilla is the best I have seen for that. If you find something better please let us know.

You can install Samba on your box and share out filesystems to your Windows machines in that fashion as mapped drives. If you just need to transfer files back and forth occasionally, use winscp as Colt45 suggested.

Samba isn't safe over the internetz.

Within a VPN tunnel it is.

That kind of info is helpful in the original post...

I would use sftp or scp for this in that case.

It's funny, I had to do this a short while ago myself.

Take a look here. The only downside I could find was high CPU usage.
