    SSHFS For Windows

    Project mention: Seamlessly Connect Salesforce to an SFTP Server in Multiple Ways | dev.to | 2025-02-14

    You can avoid manually uploading and downloading CSV files after an import or export in Salesforce Data Loader. One way to do that is to make your SFTP server a mapped drive in Windows. So, if you map the SFTP server to, let’s say drive Z, you can import or export CSV files from that drive, like it is local to your PC. You can use tools like the open-source SSHFS-Win or a similar tool to make this possible.

  20. dokany

    User mode file system library for windows with FUSE Wrapper

    For Windows, just use yasfw with dokany

    Or mount from inside WSL.

    For Linux and macOS, you can mount ssh directly.
