cygwin:

I have SOHO network with a FreeBSD file server:

2025-04-22 18:55:28 toor AT f5 ~
# freebsd-version ; uname -a
13.4-RELEASE-p4
FreeBSD f5.tracy.holgerdanske.com 13.4-RELEASE-p3 FreeBSD 
13.4-RELEASE-p3 GENERIC amd64


I have a Windows 10 Home client with Cygwin:

2025-04-22 18:03:21 admin AT dq67sw ~
$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-10.0-19045 dq67sw 3.6.1-1.x86_64 2025-04-09 11:31 UTC x86_64 
Cygwin


I can connect from the Windows client to the server via Cygwin ssh(1) 
using pre-shared keys:

2025-04-22 18:28:49 admin AT dq67sw ~
$ cygcheck -c openssh

$ ssh dpchrist AT f5

2025-04-22 18:49:55 dpchrist AT f5 ~
$ exit
logout
Connection to f5 closed.


I would like to use Cygwin sshfs(1) to mount a server directory onto the 
Windows client:

2025-04-22 18:08:45 admin AT dq67sw ~
$ cygcheck -c sshfs
Cygwin Package Information
Package              Version    Status
sshfs                3.7.2-2        OK


RTFM the Cygwin package "sshfs":

https://cygwin.com/cygwin/packages/summary/sshfs.html


I have downloaded the WinFsp installer:

https://winfsp.dev/rel/

winfsp-2.0.23075.msi


I have run the WinFsp installer, leaving component selections at default:

         WinFsp
             Core
             -> Will be installed on local hard drive


I have restarted the Windows client.


When I use Cygwin sshfs(1) to mount the file server directory onto the 
Windows client, the directory is not mounted and there are no error 
messages:

2025-04-22 18:35:51 admin AT dq67sw ~
$ sshfs dpchrist AT samba:/var/local/samba/dpchrist /samba

2025-04-22 18:39:27 admin AT dq67sw ~
$ ls -l /samba
total 0


As a sanity check, sshfs(1) works correctly on a Debian GNU/Linux client.


Comments or suggestions?


David
