Windows net work connect in a samba like manner
You probably don't know what samba is. This doesn't matter. ALl you need to know is - THIS IS COOL.
install these on your windows or Linux PC. These are prebuilt installer and all you need to do it double click.
sshfs-win: https://github.com/billziss-gh/sshfs-win
Requires WinFsp (https://github.com/billziss-gh/winfsp/releases/latest) # to be installed with Cygwin FUSE support ticked in the installer.
Now open Windows Explorer and go to “This PC”.
From the ribbon click “Map Network Drive”. Map this to a letter of your choice, e.g. M: for Marvin
- for marvin
\\sshfs\your_user_name@marvin.st-andrews.ac.uk
type in the password when asked
Now you can open your files, right click edit with IDLE or Notepad++
Large file transfers, please use filezilla, I dont know how stable this is!!!!!!!!
