  I'm using SFTP Drive v2. Free for non-commercial use. You can open one folder at a time.

  Air Live Drive
  https://www.airlivedrive.com/en/

  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

  SSH FS

  On Linux Server

  # linux server
  if [ -x "$(command -v apt)" ]; then
    sudo apt -y install sshfs
  fi
  
  if [ -x "$(command -v yum)" ]; then
    #sudo yum --enablerepo=PowerTools -y install fuse-sshfs
    sudo yum -y install fuse-sshfs
  fi
  username=sshfs
  password='insertpwhere'
  useradd -m $username
  echo -e "$password\n$password" | passwd $username
  

  On Windows Client [explorer or power shell]

  # windows client
  # download and install
  # WinFsp and SSHFS-Win
  # https://github.com/billziss-gh/sshfs-win
  net use X: \\sshfs\[email protected]
  # to delete
  # net use X: /delete

  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.
