Well I seem to have come to a dead end on this - it appears that OI uses SCP when connecting to the WinSCP client I can use to access the file system.

There are a few bits of software that will allow the mapping of remote drives using SFTP and other protocols but none I can find that use SCP. I've tried various options but they all refuse to connect to the OI filesystem.

From what I've discovered OI uses Dropbear as a SSH Server and must have SCP support included when OI was built. That means that I would need Windows software that implements drive mapping using SCP, and to date this is rarer than hen's teeth.

I have no problems manually getting the files onto the internal storage using WinSCP; it's just that I was hoping to be able to manage what went where using Calibre and various tags. I will need to set up a "mirror" of the OI File-system on the Win 8 machine and connect to that with Calibre and then use WinSCP to synchronise those folders with the Hanlin; messy but doable.
