Only Windows system lacks for a ssh client on a default install and this
can be easily solved with one of the mentioned programs that don't
require even installation at all because they're portable.
Solaris and Linux both have good ssh clients available from the usual
repositories.

Shell integration on the window client is not a powerful argument for
dropping the easier and securest solution, IMO :-)

The line between sharing and accessing is very thin. For instance, I have
a samba share to which I access from my Debian boxes (meaning the samba
share is not mounted locally but accessed via "smb://" protocol). That's
enough for me because I get/put files on the share sporadically.
