[CPLUG] Network folder HOW-TO (was Dual-boot Linux)

[Mark Gius]

I've never done this, but there appears to be software available to do it.
(google for "map ssh drive windows").

However, if you come across this link (
http://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/jp107/xp-remote/ssh-map/) do NOT do this.
My understanding is that this process will break windows sharing (samba),
which you probably don't want to do.

In terms of transferring files, you can use any ole sftp client.  I happen
to like Filezilla (http://filezilla-project.org/)
