Now, that windows 10 is out I started wondering about something. Unix based systems have the possibility to mount remote filesystems using ssh. In a recent article I've read that Windows 10 Has finally gotten itself ssh support.
I was wondering if the mounting option is also included in this SSH integration and if any of you could tell me more about this and how to use this feature.

The Windows 10 Bash update (Linux subsystem) is now in Beta. I am wondering if the situation has changed. Can we now mount remote filesystems from Windows 10?

The Windows 10 anniversary update has been released. Has anyone got any info about this question?

A few more months have passed. Lots of visitors have viewed this question but no answer has come up. I am happily using win-sshfs
but would really appreciate a windows native method to mount remote filesystems.

The software has become a little more stable. More people have had a chance to experiment with it and a few Windows Updates have come and gone. Still, I haven't found a way to mount remote filesystems natively in Windows 10. Is there anyone that has?

1Actually SFTP wouldn't need you to understand the underlying file system - I've done something similar with third party tools. Its not at all different from how FTP would be treated in theory – Journeyman Geek – 2016-04-23T13:45:01.417

Is this different now that WSL supports FUSE? – endolith – 2020-01-21T04:58:14.520
