About SSHFS-Win
SSHFS-Win is a minimal port of [SSHFS](https://github.com/libfuse/sshfs) to Windows. Under the hood it uses [Cygwin](https://cygwin.com) for the POSIX environment and [WinFsp](https://github.com/billziss-gh/winfsp) for the FUSE functionality.

## 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.
### Command Line
You can map a network drive from the command line using the `net use` command:
```
> net use X: \\sshfs\[email protected]
The password is invalid for \\sshfs\[email protected].
Enter the user name for 'sshfs': billziss
Enter the password for sshfs:
The command completed successfully.
```
You can list your `net use` drives:
