64-bit

FTPDrive has been a great utility for me, but it does not support 64bit Windows 7.
The feature of FTPDrive that is useful for me is accesing files from an FTP as local files without pre-downloading so that I can preview and watch movies from a local FTP server without waiting for a full movie to get downloaded first.

Do you know of any software which allows accessing files over FTP without pre-downloading?

Thanks!
