cygwin:
I am attempting to mount a directory from a FreeBSD computer:
2025-05-02 19:16:01 admin@dq67sw ~
$ ssh dpchrist@f5 freebsd-version -kru
13.4-RELEASE-p3
13.4-RELEASE-p3
13.4-RELEASE-p5
2025-05-02 18:51:15 admin@dq67sw ~
$ ssh dpchrist@f5 uname -a
FreeBSD f5.tracy.holgerdanske.com 13.4-RELEASE-p3 FreeBSD
13.4-RELEASE-p3 GENERIC amd64
2025-05-02 19:08:29 admin@dq67sw ~
$ ssh dpchrist@f5 ls -ld /var/local/samba/dpchrist
drwxr-xr-x 104 dpchrist dpchrist 105 Apr 30 00:45
/var/local/samba/dpchrist
Onto a Windows 10 Home computer:
2025-05-02 18:53:47 admin@dq67sw ~
$ systeminfo | grep OS
OS Name: Microsoft Windows 10 Home
OS Version: 10.0.19045 N/A Build 19045

OS Configuration: Standalone Workstation
OS Build Type: Multiprocessor Free
BIOS Version: Intel Corp. SWQ6710H.86A.0068.2017.0601.1423,
6/1/2017
2025-05-02 19:14:14 admin@dq67sw ~
$ ls -al /samba
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 1 admin None 0 May 2 19:05 .
drwxr-xr-x 1 admin Administrators 0 Apr 28 12:03 ..
Using WinFsp and Cygwin:
2025-05-02 18:59:11 admin@dq67sw ~
$ /cygdrive/c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/WinFsp/bin/fsptool-x64.exe ver
2.0 (SxS=20250430T013040Z)
2025-05-02 18:53:54 admin@dq67sw ~
$ cygcheck -c cygwin
Cygwin Package Information
Package Version Status
cygwin 3.6.1-1 OK
2025-05-02 18:55:15 admin@dq67sw ~
$ cygcheck -c sshfs
Cygwin Package Information
Package Version Status
sshfs 3.7.2-2 OK
I can mount and unmount the directory onto Windows from a Cygwin64 Terminal:
2025-05-02 18:59:36 admin@dq67sw ~
$ sshfs dpchrist@f5:/var/local/samba/dpchrist /samba/dpchrist -o
uid=197609 -o gid=197121
2025-05-02 19:03:16 admin@dq67sw ~
$ ls /samba/dpchrist | grep ^[A-Z]

$ fusermount3 -u /samba/dpchrist
fusermount3: /samba/dpchrist unmounted
2025-05-02 19:05:08 admin@dq67sw ~
$ ls /samba
RTFM sshfs(1) states:
MOUNTING FROM /ETC/FSTAB
To mount an SSHFS filesystem from /etc/fstab, simply use sshfs
as the file system type. (For backwards compatibility, you may also use
fuse.sshfs).
But creating an /etc/fstab entry and using mount does not work:
2025-05-02 19:07:12 admin@dq67sw ~
$ grep dpchrist /etc/fstab
dpchrist@samba:/var/local/samba/dpchrist /samba/dpchrist sshfs
noauto,uid=197609,gid=197121 0 0
2025-05-02 19:07:15 admin@dq67sw ~
$ mount /samba/dpchrist
mount: can't find /samba/dpchrist in /etc/fstab or in /etc/fstab.d/$USER
