The Source

Install the files

You will need to unzip the files I have loaded here.
- If you do not understand what is meant by zip and unzip then quietly close this page and go back to your facebook account.
- If you get the newer ones linked above they will be executable.
- We recommend 7zip as it is by far the best free and maintained program for compression and uncompression.
Note the file dates. You can always click the above link to get the newest.
Just unzip them and double click on them and say yes.
- winSfp
  - File:Winfsp Feb 2020.zip
- Sshfs
  - File:Sshfs 64 Feb 2020.zip

Get connected

Open File Explorer, right-click on This PC and choose Map network drive.
Choose a drive to mount at and in the Folder field enter:

\\sshfs\yourRemoteLogin@remoteComputer

By default, Windows will use your Windows password or credentials for the remote computer.
- If the password or credentials are different on the remote computer then choose the "Connect using different credentials option."
- They most definitely are different.
- Windows will ask for your password at the remote computer. After that the home directory from your remote computer will be mounted at the Windows drive you chose. I found that I had full read-write access to the files mounted from remote.

Some additional Notes

Be careful as you have full read and write access This is not a folder on your computer that you can delete from on a whim | Here is an additional link that is helpful.
