Subject: Does sftp file system work in Cygwin?
From: Woody Setzer <woody DOT setzer AT gmail DOT com>

X-IsSubscribed: yes

I have been unable to mount an SSH based file system. Both when I try
the mount via the 'Connect to Server' dialog from the Mate menu, or
use gvfs-mount sftp://...  from a shell, I get the same error:
Unable to spawn SSH program (from the GUI) or

$ gvfs-mount sftp://xx.xx.xxx
Error mounting location: Unable to spawn SSH program

I can access the target system via ssh and sftp from the command line.
Should this work in Cygwin?

This system was updated 23 April 2015.
