Dokan is free and open-source:

http://dokan-dev.net/en/

There is an SSHFS module, but make sure you download the small zip containing updated binaries if you use the .5x Dokan library (which you will I'm sure).

I'm using it now and it works perfectly (a bit slowly, but whatever). It doesn't have any sort of logic built in to reconnect automatically or anything, but the price is just right for us cheapo's who like our source's open.

The copy operation on XP appears to complete (I end up with a folder "test folder" highlighted on the n900 window) - but if I refresh that window, the folder now shows just as "test" and has no contents in it.

It is an older thread but I did not find any answer, FAQ or similar,
so I answer to this posting.

There are certain differences in the two OSes (Windows and Linux)
regarding certain characters in file and directory names.
See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filename

Spaces in filenames or directories in Windows are a nightmare for
Linux users as you have to do a
ls -l With\ spaces\ in\ filename.txt
on a Linux filesystem.

Many people that are working on Windows and Linux filesystems, use the underscore instead to avoid problems:
ls -l We_do_not_need_spaces_in_filenames.txt

See also file naming conventions like:
