sshfs Alternatives

sshfs is described as 'SSHFS allows you to mount a remote filesystem using SFTP. Most SSH servers support and enable this SFTP access by default, so SSHFS is very simple to use - there's nothing to do on the server-side' and is an app in the network & admin category. There are more than 10 alternatives to sshfs for Windows, Mac, Linux, Web-based and Android. The best sshfs alternative is MobaXterm, which is free. Other great apps like sshfs are ForkLift, WinFsp, WebDrive and SFTP Drive.
