The advantage with SFTP, and the reason people tend to use it, is it is part of SSH and SSH is built to be good/secure for access across the Internet. To really simplify things, any answer has to be SFTP specific. If I was then i'd use windows file sharing, or equivalents where other OSs are involved. I am not looking at simply over a LAN, or even over a LAN. So, some more info for the sake of that particular user, that wasn't clear on what the question was/is asking.

One user didn't understand the question and why their answer(which suggested SAMBA), was downvoted and they want more clarity in the question. (Many good answers have been posted, and the authors understood the question. But i'd like to map a drive letter to it. Is it possible to map as a network drive, a server that I SFTP to?įor example FileZilla or WinSCP(which supports SFTP) can let you browse around a server that you SFTP to.
