About
SSHFS-Win is a minimal port of SSHFS to Windows. Under the hood it uses Cygwin for the POSIX environment and WinFsp for the FUSE functionality.
Installation
- Install the latest version of WinFsp.
- Install the latest version of SSHFS-Win. Choose the x64 or x86 installer according to your computer’s architecture.
Both can also be easily installed with WinGet:
winget install -h -e --id "WinFsp.WinFsp" ; winget install -h -e --id "SSHFS-Win.SSHFS-Win"Basic Usage
Once you have installed WinFsp and SSHFS-Win you can map a network drive to a directory on an SSHFS host using Windows Explorer or the net use command.
Windows Explorer
In Windows Explorer select This PC > Map Network Drive and enter the desired drive letter and SSHFS path using the following UNC syntax:
\\sshfs\REMUSER@HOST[\PATH]
The first time you map a particular SSHFS path you will be prompted for the SSHFS username and password. You may choose to save these credentials with the Windows Credential Manager in which case you will not be prompted again.
In order to unmap the drive, right-click on the drive icon in Windows Explorer and select Disconnect.
