## What it is
SSHFS-Win is a minimal port of SSHFS to Windows that lets users mount remote SSH/SFTP directories as local network drives. It uses Cygwin for the POSIX environment and WinFsp for FUSE functionality, integrating with Windows Explorer and `net use`.

## Use cases
- mount remote ssh directory as windows drive
- map sftp server to a drive letter in windows explorer
- access remote files over ssh on windows
- mount linux server filesystem on windows
- browse sftp files as a local network drive

## When to choose
- you need to access remote SSH/SFTP files as a native Windows drive
- you want Explorer and net use integration for remote filesystems
- you prefer a simple installer-based SSHFS solution on Windows

## When to avoid
- you are on Linux or macOS where native SSHFS exists
- you need high-performance or reliable production file sharing rather than convenience mounting
- you cannot install kernel-level dependencies like WinFsp
