Hi,
I have ssh access to remote FreeBSD system, but no ftp. I want edit remote files directly on server using local windows app like notepad.
I know there is sshfs for linux which is possible to mount ssh file system on local file system. Maybe there is something similar for windows? I don't really get this. You want to access the FreeBSD system using SSH on Windows?? If that's it, you probably want to try PuTTY - http://www.putty.nl/. It's Open Source and Free. Yes im using putty. But i cant make ftp tunnel because on server no ftp is running. I have only ssh and http access.
If you can access it physically you could install something along the lines of GoToMyPc. Or just grab subseven 2.1 as it does even more.
Is it you server? Or are you just trying to hack a buddy?

PuTTY is for SSH!!! It clearly says on the top of the official website -"PuTTY: A Free Telnet/SSH Client". You only need to select the radio button for SSH.What about SSH Client? You can modify text files on server in its FTP interface. After you save the file, the FTP client will ask you whether to put it back automatically to the server. It is not mounting things but it works for me.
Yeah i know how to use Putty but sometimes i edit some documents on home computer and after i need to put them on server.
I do not want to hack or do something illegal, i just want easier access to my files.
Thank you all for answers. I have found solution: "WinSCP" http://winscp.net/eng/index.php | Quote: |

It would be extremely usefull to be able to map a drive letter to a sshfs system as it would allow ALL applications withing windows to access a ssh drive directly. Rather than having to edit - save - exit - upload - open edit etc you could edit the files directly on the remote server.SftpDrive for windows is available, it implements a full filesystem for SSH/SFTP
http://www.sftpdrive.com I've tried the demo of sftpdrive and it worked great, but I didn't want to shell out the $$ for it.
Try WebDrive - http://www.southrivertechnologies.com/products/webdrive/
But it is also not free 
You have two best ways 
- Use Linux (or FreeBSD), there "everything" works free
- Learn VIM (or other editor) and edit your files directly throught ssh client
I use both (vim and linux) and now I can't imagine another better way. filezilla + sftp (provided by sshd)
