SSHFS is a FUSE-based userspace client that mounts and interacts with a remote filesystem as though the filesystem were local (i.e., shared storage). It uses SSH as the underlying protocol and SFTP as the transfer protocol, so it’s as secure as SFTP. (I’m not a security expert, so I can’t comment on the security of SSH.). Installing the Windows 10 OpenSSH Server The first step is to click on the Windows Start Menu and then in the search field type option. A search result labeled Manage optional features will be.
SFTP Built into Explorer
SSHFS is one of those features you wish was built directly into Windows and with ExpanDrive now it is. ExpanDrive adds SFTP support directly into Finder and every other application on your PC.

Amazing Reviews
“ExpanDrive lets you mount remote sftp drives and it actually works! I.e. no long delays or dropped connection in the middle of a save.”
Allan Odgaard, TextMate
“My first impression after reading ExpanDrive’s promotional description last week was that it sounded too good to be true. One week later, I’m pretty sure it actually is that good.”
