cygwin:

I am attempting to mount a directory from a FreeBSD computer:

2025-05-02 19:16:01 admin AT dq67sw ~
$ ssh dpchrist AT f5 freebsd-version -kru
13.4-RELEASE-p3
13.4-RELEASE-p3

2025-05-02 18:51:15 admin AT dq67sw ~
$ ssh dpchrist AT f5 uname -a
FreeBSD f5.tracy.holgerdanske.com 13.4-RELEASE-p3 FreeBSD 
13.4-RELEASE-p3 GENERIC amd64

2025-05-02 19:08:29 admin AT dq67sw ~
$ ssh dpchrist AT f5 ls -ld /var/local/samba/dpchrist
drwxr-xr-x  104 dpchrist  dpchrist  105 Apr 30 00:45 
/var/local/samba/dpchrist


Onto a Windows 10 Home computer:

2025-05-02 18:53:47 admin AT dq67sw ~
$ systeminfo | grep OS
OS Name:                   Microsoft Windows 10 Home

2025-05-02 19:14:14 admin AT dq67sw ~

drwxr-xr-x 1 admin None           0 May  2 19:05 .
drwxr-xr-x 1 admin Administrators 0 Apr 28 12:03 ..


Using WinFsp and Cygwin:

2025-05-02 18:59:11 admin AT dq67sw ~
$ /cygdrive/c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/WinFsp/bin/fsptool-x64.exe ver
2.0 (SxS=20250430T013040Z)

2025-05-02 18:53:54 admin AT dq67sw ~
$ cygcheck -c cygwin
Cygwin Package Information
Package              Version    Status
cygwin               3.6.1-1        OK

2025-05-02 18:55:15 admin AT dq67sw ~
$ cygcheck -c sshfs
Cygwin Package Information
Package              Version    Status
sshfs                3.7.2-2        OK


I can mount and unmount the directory onto Windows from a Cygwin64 Terminal:

2025-05-02 18:59:36 admin AT dq67sw ~
$ sshfs dpchrist AT f5:/var/local/samba/dpchrist /samba/dpchrist -o 
uid=197609 -o gid=197121

2025-05-02 19:03:16 admin AT dq67sw ~
$ ls /samba/dpchrist | grep ^[A-Z]

$ fusermount3 -u /samba/dpchrist
fusermount3: /samba/dpchrist unmounted

2025-05-02 19:05:08 admin AT dq67sw ~
$ ls /samba


RTFM sshfs(1) states:

MOUNTING FROM /ETC/FSTAB
        To mount an SSHFS filesystem from /etc/fstab, simply use sshfs 
as the file system type. (For backwards compatibility, you may also use 
fuse.sshfs).


But creating an /etc/fstab entry and using mount does not work:

2025-05-02 19:07:12 admin AT dq67sw ~
$ grep dpchrist /etc/fstab
dpchrist AT samba:/var/local/samba/dpchrist /samba/dpchrist sshfs 
noauto,uid=197609,gid=197121 0 0

2025-05-02 19:07:15 admin AT dq67sw ~
$ mount /samba/dpchrist
mount: can't find /samba/dpchrist in /etc/fstab or in /etc/fstab.d/$USER


Comments or suggestions?
