I'm using SSH-FS like this to mount the corresponding home directory.
\\sshfs.k\user@ip-address
It was working fine until last week I believe and it suddenly stopped working. I only get System error 67 when trying to add a network share like this:
net use L: \\sshfs.k\user@ip-address
I have old connections still in my explorer. They are not connected and when I try to connect them I get this error:
It says: Error reconnecting with M: .... Windows File System Proxy: The network does not exist or is not started. The connection was not restored.
Is there some service which must run and that I could check? I don't use any other proxies.
For some reason the root sshfs works for me but not the sshfs.kr or sshfs.r.
At this point I just scheduled a task for manually running the service with the drive mounted:
Create ssh config for your sftp:
code $env:USERPROFILE\.ssh\config
config contents:
Host named-sshfs
HostName host.name
User root
IdentityFile userdir\.ssh\id_ed25519
IdentitiesOnly yes
Create a clean ps1 script:
mount-sshfs.ps1 in the root of user directory
$ErrorActionPreference = "SilentlyContinue"
$sshfs = "C:\Program Files\SSHFS-Win\bin\sshfs-win.exe"
$prefix = "\sshfs.kr\server@named-sshfs\"
$drive = "Y:"
# If drive already exists, do nothing
if (Test-Path $drive) { exit 0 }
# Remove any stale mapping
cmd /c "net use $drive /delete /y" | Out-Null
# Start in background (no terminal held open)
Start-Process -FilePath $sshfs `
-ArgumentList @("svc", $prefix, $drive) `
-WindowStyle Hidden
The script @konstantintuev posted does work. I changed it a bit to be able to have multiple hosts. I created a gist for future use explaining the whole process:

I have the exact same issue, banging my head against a wall rn

I get the same behavior. This have been working for years, until recently. I can't say for sure what changes occured when it stopped to work.
Old mapping in Explorer

No network activity in wireshark when I tried to connect to the host.

Yeah... I'm hitting this exact same issue. It's not even trying to do anything on the network. This is bizarre.
cytoph commentedon Jan 15, 2026
Same here, it's still a problem.
@konstantintuev I think I did everything like you described but still doesn't help.

Try putting the private key in the ~/.ssh directory. sshfs-win can't parse the IdentityFile option correctly.

Yeah, konstantine's reply was similar to perrocontodo's one on the thread i've linked.

I was able to solve the issue I had, maybe it helps here as well?
