  1. I think it could be done using sshfs. It is available for all platforms. http://code.google.com/p/win-sshfs/

    Two things that aren't Samba come to mind:

    • NFS, via Client Services for NFS for Windows (see this HOWTO)
    • ExpanDrive, formerly known as SFTPDrive

    There's also the brilliant "sort of VPN over SSH" solution sshuttle, if you have a Linux-ish gateway on the remote network.
