I have a Windows 10 Home client with Cygwin:

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

$ cygcheck -c openssh

I would like to use Cygwin sshfs(1) to mount a server directory onto the
Windows client:
2025-04-22 18:08:45 admin@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
Looks good.
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@dq67sw ~
$ sshfs dpchrist@samba:/var/local/samba/dpchrist /samba
2025-04-22 18:39:27 admin@dq67sw ~
$ ls -l /samba
total 0
As a sanity check, sshfs(1) works correctly on a Debian GNU/Linux client.
A peculiarity of Cygwin sshfs on Windows is that the directory being
mounted on ('/samba' in your case) must not exist before starting sshfs.
If that doesn't help, please do
echo $?
cat /var/run/fuse.mounts
right after trying to start sshfs and post the results here.
