Chocolatey: mc

A commandline file manager, with FTP access.

Particularly easy to use and featureful. I consider this an essential tool, but usually forget it exists.

https://sourceforge.net/projects/lufs/ ^[ 1 ] was http://lufs.sourceforge.net:80/lufs/fs.html

A hybrid userspace filesystem framework supporting many "exotic" filesystems (localfs, sshfs, ftpfs, gnutellafs, locasefs, gvfs, cardfs, cefs, etc. ).

Seems unreliable to me.

Can mount FTP
Allows Gnutella Peer-to-peer mounting to perform searches and use search results as files.
