This got me a little excited -- mounting a remote file system on a local mountpoint... From: http://fuse.sourceforge.net/sshfs.html > SSHFS: SSH Filesystem > This is a filesystem client based on the SSH File Transfer Protocol. > Since most SSH servers already support this protocol it is very > easy to set up: i.e. on the server side there's nothing to do. > On the client side mounting the filesystem is as easy as logging > into the server with ssh. But building it requires FUSE (http://fuse.sourceforge.net/) which, in turn, requires access to the kernel source. This conversation: http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/freenx-knx/2005-December/002725.html suggests that someone is working on getting this running in cygwin. But I can't find any follow-up. More googling led me to a similar tool, shfs (http://shfs.sourceforge.net/) but alas, that also requires compiling a kernel module. I'm guessing I'm not the only one who could make good use of this sort of thing. Using cygwin, is there a secure (i.e. ssh) way of mounting or otherwise directly accessing a remote filesystem located on a linux server? I've tried to think up some cute ssh-tunneling trick, but my head can't get there from here. I did see a few suggestions about doing the mount-remote-fs in Win XP and then accessing *that* from cygwin, but I couldn't dope out how to do that either.
