I have a NAS server running Linux, and I want to map it as a network drive on my Windows PC. Additionally, I want the connection between my Windows PC and NAS box to be secure (e.g. encrypted).
Normally, my first thought would be to run an FTP server on the NAS and just set that up as a network drive, but basic FTP doesn't encrypt files during transit, and even if it did Windows doesn't seem to support adding FTP servers as network drives (you can add them as network locations, but that's not the same thing, as it's not transparent to other applications on my computer).
Is there a way to do this? Currently I'm running Windows 8.1 Basic on my PC, but a solution which will also work on other recent versions of Windows is prefered.
