Mapping an sFTP connection to a Windows drive/folder?
Im looking for an alternative NetDrive 3 software, opensource or cheaper, because its 2-3 $/month. What are you using? NetDrive 3 its very good choice to make a folder on My PC via sFTP, but expensive, the vps host is cheaper bytheway..
PS: looking for an actual, recent versions.

rclone mount
Mountainduck? ... its a one off payment and its per user I asked the guy what was meant by "per user" as I had a 2 laptops one for work and one for home but exclusively used by me .. he said that was fine and was 1 user
I'm using SFTP Drive v2. Free for non-commercial use. You can open one folder at a time.

Lifetime pro licence $25. Great deal and works better than Netdrive and Expandrive. Well, it does for me.
Resilio might also work in your use case.

If you're looking for Open-Source solution, you may try: Swish-sFTP
That is alpha-status software, last updated in June 2013, so no, not a good choice at the end of 2020.
Yes, that's true but I've been using this with no issues on not-so-important old servers.
Still not a good recommendation at the end of 2020 without significant reservations
not exactly sftp, but maybe will do the job:

On Windows Client [explorer or power shell]
Why not use rclone?
After playing with rclone, I would say the sshfs and samba still have a role to play. With sshfs after you mount the drive it appears as a drive letter for easy drag and drop. Same with samba, though I have found sshfs to be faster than samba.
rclone seems to require more work and sysadmin knowledge but is more powerful.
The free version of RaiDrive also lets you mount SFTP as a network drive (and much more) with a nice GUI.
