FTP over SSL as a Windows Drive program

Hi all,

Dunno if this is the right section but, as the title says, Im setting up a home server for the first time and slowly getting things working.
Ive setup Pure-FTPD with enforced SSL.

Now in the Windows Clients I wanted something that would show up as a normal drive and would work with SSL since the normal windows support doesnt work that I know off.

What free programs you guys know/recommend me??

Features such as video playing is a bonus.

I tried DirectNet Drive but has some issues, doesnt seem to support UTF-8 (Im portuguese) so a lot of file names get messed up and when I send something to the server some applications loose internet access such as Spotify.

Waiting for suggestions,
Thanks,
Ralms.

Just map the drive!!

Go to Windows Explorer,
Right click on My Computer,
Click on map drive

Enter as follow

ftps://<username>:<password>@FTP Address

***EDIT***

Example

ftps://youwhat:unsecure-password@overclock3d.net
ftps://youwhat:unsecure-password@overclock3d.net/not_really

You can also specify folders by adding /Downloads /Illegal Movies etc (you get the idea) :)

As for streaming content, have you looked at something like Plex??

ftps is FTP over SSH, I need a normal FTP connection using port 21 with SSL enabled and windows doesnt seem to support that on its own.
