Chris, I meant to reply to your (much) earlier post about webdrive, but never got this out of my drafts:
You might be interested in trying out ExpanDrive which is similar to Web Drive, with support for FTP, SFTP, and Amazon S3. This was designed for the Mac and works through the Finder interface. Like Web Drive, it is available in versions for both the Mac and Windows. The Mac version definitely works with VoiceOver. There has been a Windows version (not beta) for well over a year, it was rewritten to incorporate the new addtions (like Amazon S3 support) and capabilities of the Mac version. At the time I found some forum links by users, and the comments indicated that, at least back in March, some Windows users found this to run faster than Web Drive, and another user who tried this in July (no indication of which platform) found this much faster than web drive. This has other nice features, like reattaching to the drive automatically if you change networks (e.g. on a laptop). These types of solutions (ExpanDrive and WebDrive) are much faster than using Command-K and typing in a server name --- I would only do that and expect reasonable speed if I'm connecting to a local network. http://www.expandrive.com/ There are also free solutions based on the MacFUSE project like MacFusion, but there are some stability issues.
