title: I am trying to map an Amazon EC2 drive to a local machine
body: <p>I am trying to map an Amazon EC2 instance to my local machine. I have read that it is possible via VPN but I need it to work without a VPN. Essentially I would like to make drives in the EC2 instance available similar to the way DropBox folders are available. I know that I could just use Dropbox but I am trying to find a way to do this using just a local machine running Windows 7 and an EC2 server using Windows Server 2008. If it is easier, I can use Windows Server 2012. </p>
