Summary

Windows File System Proxy - FUSE for Windows

Description

WinFsp is a set of software components for Windows computers that allows the creation of user mode file systems. In this sense it is similar to FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace), which provides the same functionality on UNIX-like computers.

Some of the benefits of using WinFsp are listed below:

• Very well-tested and stable.
• Very fast.
• Strives for compatibility with NTFS.
• Easy to understand but comprehensive API.
• FUSE compatibility layer for native Windows and Cygwin.
• Signed drivers provided on every release.
• Available under the GPLv3 license with a special exception for Free/Libre and Open Source Software.

To verify installation:

• For 64-bit Windows: net use m: \\memfs64\share from the command prompt.
• For 32-bit Windows: net use m: \\memfs32\share
• For Cygwin: net use m: '\\memfs64\share'
• To delete the drive: net use m: /delete
