  I actually use WebDrive to do this, if anyone still happens to be looking for a reasonably-priced option. It is a bit less expensive than Expandrive (which I will admit I have never tried). But I've always had success with Webdrive and have been using it for years. www.webdrive.com

  For persistent connections I find it better to use the %C token in ControlPath. It produces a shorter string, so will help get around some path length restrictions. Also, that really ought not to be a path in a world-readable place like /tmp!

  Both good ideas. %C didn't exist when I wrote the above.

  On a laptop only used by me, I was using /tmp/ (it avoids need to know your username to put in the config), but for shared computers it isn't a good idea.
