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.

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.
