Improve this answer. Martin Prikryl Martin Prikryl I was able to get started with this. Additionally you can use sshfs-win-manager , a GUI tool to manage your connections Hope that helps. Brian C Brian C 1. Sign up or log in Sign up using Google.

A GUI interface opens for managing device connections. Lastly, Click Save when done filling out the fields. The newly created server connection shows up in the main menu. Click the socket icon next to your connection name to establish a connection. If the connection succeeds, the socket icon changes to a green connected socket, and a folder icon appears:. If the connection is no longer needed, delete the information using the Delete mode button.

SSHFS provides a secure way to mount a remote folder to a local machine. The connection uses the SSH file transfer protocol for each transferred file, ensuring secure communication between two points.

An alternative way to transfer files via SSH is through remote sync. Check out our guide: How to Transfer Files with Rsync and see which method works best for you. Was this article helpful? Milica Dancuk. Milica Dancuk is an aspiring technical writer at phoenixNAP and a data nerd.

Vinko Vrsalovic: Since longer, don't know the exact date. Just that it didn't work error free on x64 until about something like half a year ago. The better question is how do you create an RSA key on windows, but there, gitbash google-code to the rescue. Quandary: Great. Last time I tried it it didn't do all that. This looks cool. Unfortunately, the current version 2 doesn't work on Windows 8. The installer notified me that version 3 will support Windows 8.

ThiefMaster Heavy agreed with you,the read file performance of samba in virtual machine is too bad. Michael Haren Michael Haren It'll automatically initiate the tunnel when you connect. If you set it to run on startup and use private-key login with no passphrase warning, not secure!!!

I'd rather not set up samba since it's an extra step the rest of the class won't use. Also I trust SSH more then Samba and the campus network isn't what I'd call secure considering how many students are on it with personal computers running god knows what. Jared: if you went with samba, you'd have to tunnel it through SSH anyway--so it'd be equally safe as ssh. If you really want an easy drag-drop method, then WinSCP is nice, as suggested by others.

Where winaero is my Windows user name and I will connect to it from another PC, running Arch Linux. It appears black and white and broken:. Another interesting observation: You can start GUI apps like explorer. If you are signed in to the same user account that you use for SSH, they will start on the desktop.

Well, the built-in SSH server is definitely an interesting thing to play with. It allows you to manage a Windows machine without installing tools like rdesktop on your Linux computer, or even changing Windows settings from a Linux computer which has no X server installed.

As of this writing, the built-in SSH server in Windows 10 is at a BETA stage, so it should get more interesting and become a useful feature in the near future. Winaero greatly relies on your support.
