Cannot browse SSHFS-mounted folders in File Explorer's Linux Integration

[suhailrehman]

Version

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.22000.318]

WSL Version

• WSL 2
• WSL 1

Kernel Version

5.10.60.1

Distro Version

Ubuntu 20.04

Other Software

SSHFS version 2.10.0
FUSE library version: 2.9.9
fusermount version: 2.9.9
using FUSE kernel interface version 7.19

Repro Steps

1. Mount a remote folder via SSHFS in /mnt/ using a command like so:

sshfs -o reconnect,ServerAliveInterval=15,ServerAliveCountMax=3,uid=$(id -u),gid=$(id -g) server.address:/path/to/folder/ /mnt/remotefolder/

2. Browse to the folder in File Explorer:

explorer.exe .

Expected Behavior

Expect to be able to browse the remote files

Actual Behavior

I get the following error from within Explorer instead:

Diagnostic Logs

I noticed that the remote folder mounted by SSHFS is mounted without read/write permissions for others, but that's not a requirement to browse local files in explorer.exe.

This might indeed be a permission issue.

Which user is your default user ? That's what the explorer file access runs as.

Also, what's the output of:
ls -la /mnt/remotefolder/ ?

I've mounted the remote folder using the uid and gid mapped to my default user and group (suhail). My remote folder is called roscoe

: /mnt$ ls -la /mnt
ls: cannot access '/mnt/g': No such device

Ok thanks for the update. If suhail is the default user then this shouldn't be a permission issue.

Can you please follow the Record wsl logs manually section to collect logs of a repro ?
