Mount Remote Drive with SSHFS

  1. Install the latest stable installer of WinFSP

  2. Install the latest stable installer of SSHFS-Win

  3. Open File Explorer, right-click on This PC and choose Map network drive. Choose a drive to mount at and enter the following in the folder field (replace the options in ALL CAPS with the desired settings):

    \\sshfs\REMUSER@HOST[\PATH]
    
    • REMUSER is the remote user (i.e. the user on the SSHFS host whose credentials are being used for access; gilmoreg).
    • HOST is the SSHFS host (i.e. graham.computecanada.ca).
    • PATH is the full remote path to the directory you want access to (i.e. \projects\ctb-akhanf\cfmm-bids\Khan)

    so the full command should look something like:

    \\sshfs\gilmoreg@graham.computecanada.ca\projects\ctb-akhanf\cfmm-bids\Khan
    
  4. Ensure you check the box Connect using different credentials if your computer login password is different from the remote host. You may be asked to enter your password in a few times, ensure you select remember my credentials each time if you want to save your login.

  5. You should then see the network drive in your file explorer:
