How can I mount a hostbrr storage box on Windows?
ideally I'd like one folder called "storage" in the root directory with it's own account and password, and I don't want/need it to be linked to any of the domains on there. then I want to access that from my Windows 10 PC
I know I did this before, but I've forgotten how and can't get it to work. I've tried with sshfs (win-sshfs) but I can't get it to work
is remote SSH disabled? do I need to enable it for a new FTP account? or does it run on a different port?
Thanks

I don't know about hostbrr specifically, but rclone should be able to mount the drive. You can use nssm to run it as a service. I think you need win-sshfs as well, but you mentioned you've already got that.
Also, check if you're using 53211 for SSH. At least that's the port for my box
Yep, you can with Mountain Duck, for example, via SFTP protocol.
Rclone is the way. If everything else fail it should be the only thing that should work, the legendary og.
One of the options: https://github.com/kapitainsky/RcloneBrowser/releases
Gives you a fancy Rclone GUI:
If you already have sshfs installed try this in a command prompt.
Then type in the password. This should create a remote drive named Z: with the storage box home directory mounted.
USERNAME: HostBrr user name
IP: IP of the storage box
PORT: Your SSH Port on HostBrr
i use nextcloud webdav function with rclone.
With cloudflare in front.
rclone support chunking so cloudflare upload limit won't bug.
Can you share the setup? Currently using the juicefs, but the dl/ul speed is slow even when it's mounted on node with sub 20ms distance
Thank you all, I got it mounted with win-sshfs and the speeds are good.
I was missing the port number which is 53211 (and in your welcome email in case it's different)
unfortunately I need to use the main account. seems like creating an FTP account doesn't also give it SSH access
Is this possible on Mac as well?
Sorry out of topic, but is mountainduck stable enough for your use case?
Pretty stable. However, I am not using it much. I mostly use storage box for nextcloud and rclone.
This tool is also an Rclone GUI for Mac OS:
i use https://stablebit.com/clouddrive small license fee but supports multiple cloud providers also
I would choose Rclone!
+1 Rclone
Free services like rclone, alist, openlist, and others allow you to access WebDAV or other protocols by creating an account
I personally recommend using alist or openlist. They provide a visual UI panel for easy operation. Simply deploy them using the installation script, access them via IP, and create an account to log in. If you need to grant access to more users later, you can create additional accounts and restrict access paths, data outside these paths remains inaccessible. Plus, they're lightweight and highly efficient.
