SSHore documentation

SSHore is a Windows 11 desktop utility that maps remote SSH directories as network drives. This page gives you the shortest happy path, plus pointers for when things go wrong.

Quick setup

1. Install WinFsp and SSHFS-Win on Windows 11.
2. Install SSHore from the download page.
3. Launch SSHore — it will verify both dependencies automatically.
4. Click Add server, fill in host, user, port, path, drive letter, and auth.
5. Click Mount. Your drive appears in Explorer.

Authentication

Two modes are supported: password and SSH key. Key auth uses the SSHFS-Win sshfs.kr provider, which expects a key named id_rsa in %USERPROFILE%\.ssh\ unless SSHore has written an entry in ~/.ssh/config for the host.

Common errors

• System error 5: running as Administrator. Launch as your normal user.
• System error 67: WinFsp/SSHFS-Win missing, or key not found.
• System error 85: drive letter already in use.
• System error 1219: multiple credentials to the same host.

Privacy

Passwords and key paths are encrypted at rest using Windows DPAPI through Electron safeStorage. SSHore does not phone home.
