It's not FOSS, free, nor particularly fast, but I've had reasonably
good luck using ExpanDrive for Windows (http://expandrive.com/ ).  

It's basically sshfs for Windows -- it lets me mount any ssh-available 
server as a local Windows drive and access it accordingly.  This means 
I can mount all of my Linux server accounts and all of my Android devices 
under Windows without having to set up either Samba or NFS on any of them, 
I can use ssh authentication and Linux's built-in user/group authorizations 
to control access to the filesystems, and all of the data transfers are 
ssh-encrypted across the network.  Pretty sweet.
