SSHFS-Win is a Windows implementation of SSHFS that mounts remote directories over SSH as local Windows drives, enabling seamless file access as if they were local network drives. It provides both command-line and graphical interfaces for creating, managing, and disconnecting SSHFS mounts, supporting password or SSH key authentication with optional credential storage in the Windows Credential Manager.
The project extends beyond basic SSH mounting to support a wide range of remote file access scenarios, including mounting cloud storage services like Azure Blob or Amazon S3, distributed POSIX file systems built on object storage, and WebDAV servers as local drives. It offers flexible mounting options with paths relative to either the user's home directory or the server's root directory, and includes transparent client-side encryption for secure cloud file access.
SSHFS-Win integrates deeply with the Windows ecosystem through WinFsp, providing capabilities such as running file systems as Windows services, mounting via the Windows shell and network provider, and supporting both disk-based and network-based volume creation. The project delivers a single MSI installer that automatically selects the correct components for ARM64, x64, and x86 systems, and includes comprehensive testing and validation tools for verifying file system reliability and performance.
