System Error 67 Windows 11 25h2 #467

Open

Description

@SushiTee

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:

Image

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.

    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.

    net use X: \\sshfs\user@ip-adress\folder
    System error 67 has occurred.
    
    The network name cannot be found.
    

    Old mapping in Explorer

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

    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:

    1. 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
    
    1. 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
    
    1. Create a task:
    sudo schtasks /Create /F /TN "Mount Named SSHFS" `
      /SC ONLOGON `
      /TR "powershell.exe -NoProfile -WindowStyle Hidden -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File userdir\mount-sshfs.ps1"
    
    1. Test the task:
    schtasks /Run /TN "Mount Named SSHFS"
    
    1. Done - you should have a mounted SSHFS

    @easpeagle

    Yeah... I'm hitting this exact same issue. It's not even trying to do anything on the network. This is bizarre.

    @cytoph

    Same here, it's still a problem.

    @konstantintuev I think I did everything like you described but still doesn't help.

    @LiuMenglii

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

    @vico93: It does not work for me.

    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:

    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?
