Mount your ftp/ssh/webdav connection

FTP and SFTP/SSH connections are a pain because you have to use a client. Its just so much nicer to be able to save locally. The solution is to mount your connection instead of using a client. Webdrive does just this. Available for both OSX and Windows.

FYI: you can do this for free on OSX using macfuse and sshs but I never got it to work reliably (probably because I was doing something wrong).
