Win10 SSHFS 'credentials'? #247

Open redbilledpanda opened 4 years ago

redbilledpanda commented 4 years ago

Hello. I installed WinFSP and sshfs (on WIn10) but I think I messed up the credentials (by the way do we need to "create an account on sshfs" to access the software?). I would like to know what are the credentials for the 'sshfs' that windows asks for?

The network that I am mounting has its own credentials but it looks like there is yet another set of credentials that SSHFS mandates. Is that right?

What credentials do you need to connect to the remote system?

The "credentials" windows is asking for are information necessary to connect to the remote server. The options you can specify are:

  1. IP address of the remote server.
  2. Username of a user on the remote system.
  3. Password of a user on the remote system.

if you need to provide credentials other than the above three, then using sshfs-win through window's explorer will not work and you will need to use its through the terminal.
