I have a university server that I can log into via putty and "ls" gives me all my files and stuff. However, I occasionally (regularly) need to work on these files from home. I would like a solution to this. I was thinking

1) Can I mount a folder on my Windows 7 box so that when I open the folder it "runs, 'ls' in the background and lists all files for me in a GUI"

2) Can I download these files via putty but then upload them back when I am done updating them (I would actually not like to do this)

Thanks

It sounds like you connect to this server via SSH.

You can use a utility such as win-sshfs as suggested by @masfenix. Seems to depend on the Dokan libraries.

You can also check out WinSCP - it works more like an FTP client than a folder on your desktop but isn't difficult to use (drag and drop works OK).
