SSHFS-Win is a Windows port of SSHFS that allows you to mount remote SSH filesystems as network drives.
The tool solves the problem of accessing remote files over SSH on Windows systems, which lack native SSHFS support. It works by combining Cygwin to provide a POSIX environment with WinFsp to implement FUSE filesystem functionality on Windows. Users can mount remote directories as network drives through Windows Explorer or the command line using a UNC path syntax, then interact with remote files as if they were local.
SSHFS-Win suits developers and system administrators who need to work with remote files on Windows without installing additional SSH clients or file transfer tools. It integrates directly with Windows Explorer and the standard net use command, making it accessible to users already familiar with Windows networking. The tool supports credential storage through Windows Credential Manager, eliminating repeated password prompts for the same connections. Multiple GUI frontends are available for users who prefer graphical management over command-line interfaces.
The project maintains a stable release channel alongside a latest release track. Development activity shows ongoing attention to the codebase with regular updates and responsiveness to the user base through its release infrastructure.
