Repro Steps

Follow Access Linux filesystems in Windows and WSL 2 and mount remote directory over SSHFS:

$ id -u
1000
$ sshfs -⁠o idmap=user example.net:/⁠project/X ~/mnt -o uid=1000

ls -l shows the users to be mapped to the user with id 1000. Reading files inside the mount directory works.

Expected Behavior

The Microsoft Windows Explorer should be able to access the mounted directory.

Actual Behavior

The Microsoft Windows Explorer is unable to access the mounted directory.

@paulmenzel edit /etc/fuse.conf and add user_allow_other. Most likely the setting is there already, just uncomment it. This will allow the remote file system to show inside Windows file explorer.

This is the command I use to mount remotes from DO droplets:

sshfs -o allow_other,default_permissions [email protected]:/home/elsaco/droplet ~/droplet

I'm using Windows 10, but it should work on Windows 11 also.
