    Windows File System Proxy - FUSE for Windows

  • As for using it to create a new file system, the repository has a basic tutorial for that: https://github.com/billziss-gh/winfsp/blob/master/doc/WinFsp...

    > What kind of permission granting seances would they have to go through, if any?

    From personal experience of using this: WinFSP have ready .msi installer. After going through the standard process of installing it, then you need to install the file system implementation you want (for example SSHFS from http://www.secfs.net/winfsp/rel/).

    The required permissions amount to the standard installation prompt, at least from my experience on Windows 10.

    SSHFS For Windows

  • In case anyone is wondering: if you want to use sshfs network drives as demoed on their Github page, WinFsp is not enough, you need to also install SSHFS-Win:

  • rclone

  • rclone - https://rclone.org/ uses this IIRC. Can mount a heck of a lot of things!

  • rust-9p

    Tokio-based asynchronous filesystems library using 9P2000.L protocol, an extended variant of 9P from Plan 9.

  • I found https://github.com/pfpacket/rust-9p to be reasonably good and easy to change. My fork (https://github.com/piscisaureus/rust-9p) has some patches to improve support for the 9P2000.W dialect used by Windows.
