Mount ext3 from remote Windows machine (XP/Vista/7) through ssh?

Question

Is it possible to mount external ext3 network drive from Windows through ssh/sftp ?

I would like to avoid samba/cifs.

Answer

Two things that aren’t Samba come to mind:

  • NFS, via Client Services for NFS for Windows (see this HOWTO)
  • ExpanDrive, formerly known as SFTPDrive

There’s also the brilliant “sort of VPN over SSH” solution sshuttle, if you have a Linux-ish gateway on the remote network.
