In Windows I use WinSCP. How can I do this?

You can also use xdav via a command like https://[your xdav server]

Alternatively I recommend Expandrive which works quite transparently as a mounted disc. (The only issue if the disc is large is the possible indexation by Spotlight)

It sounds like you're using (S)FTP to connect to your server. Unfortunately the Finder doesn't support those protocols. You'll need to use a 3rd party app like Cyberduck or Transmit to connect via FTP or SFTP.

The Finder supports AFP, SMB (Windows file sharing), NFS, VNC, and probably a few others I'm forgetting via the Connect to Server window.

Connect to Server does support FTP. – Alex Aug 22 '12 at 1:58
SSH file transfer protocols are SCP or SFTP, which (last I knew) are all that WinSCP supports. Hence the name, Windows Secure Copy. But you're right, The Finder will do standard FTP. – Jason Salaz♦ Sep 20 '12 at 7:57
