Run winfsp-2.0.23075.msi. Ctrl+C does not copy contents of app to
clipboard (?). I will transcribe manually:
WinFsp2023 Setup
Welcome ...
-> Next
WinFsp2023 Setup
Custom Setup ...
-> Next
WinFsp2023 Setup
Ready ...
-> Install
Pop-up -- User Access Control -> Allow
WinFsp2023 Setup
Completed ...
-> Finish

$ sshfs -h | head
WinFsp-FUSE options:
-o umask=MASK set file permissions (octal)
-o FileSecurity=SDDL set file DACL (SDDL format)
-o create_umask=MASK set newly created file permissions (octal)
-o create_file_umask=MASK for files only
-o create_dir_umask=MASK for directories only
-o uid=N set file owner (-1 for mounting user id)
-o gid=N set file group (-1 for mounting user group)
-o rellinks interpret absolute symlinks as volume
relative
-o dothidden dot files have the Windows hidden file

So sshfs is connecting, but there are identity issues (UID/GID/SID) (?).
I tried a few guesses at options to allow write access, but without
success. Suggestions?
