What are some methods for transferring files to and from Amazon EC2 instances. I'm looking for solutions / tools for editing files as well as copying files to EC2 instances from both Mac and Windows.

For example, what are some solutions for mounting a drive from an instance locally?

Generally, what other methods are out there?
