WinSCP or whatever can make it look like "normal" FTP. I don't know if there's a more "usable" version (like gnome-vfs'ssftp:// URLs) that make them look like local folders. There is a SSH/SCP/SFTP FUSE driver around, so you can mount filesystems over SCP/SFTP. That should take care of Linux and Mac boxes. Not sure what the equivalent Windows solution would be. I admit the users probably won't allow it, but you can use it as your low bid so that OpenVPN looks more like a compromise and less like the fiat of the Insane Security Overlord. :D
