SftpDrive: Access your SSH server as a network drive in Windows
SftpDrive is a commercial app
(free six-week trial, $39 to buy) that lets you map remote SSH/SFTP servers to network drives in Windows, meaning you
can access your remote files just like local files from any Windows program securely. In addition to mapping network
drives, SftpDrive will do SSH tunneling. I installed the trial (the download is less than 1.5MB) and found that the
"zero configuration" claim on its web site is absolutely true. It took less than 30 seconds to get a network
drive set up, most of which was spent trying to remember my username. Accessing remote files is fast—faster than
my usual SSH client—and you can set up an unlimited number of drives. SftpDrive is slick and, as far as I can
tell, performs as advertised in every respect.[Via Joey Day]

There is also a product called Web Drive (http://www.webdrive.com/products/webdrive/index.html) that does this for FTP, SFTP and WebDav servers.

I've always found WinSCP to be quite handy.
