Using a Droplet as file server in Windows

Posted October 21, 2014 6.1k views

Hello everybody! I wonder if there is some way of using a droplet as a file server, so I can map it as a drive in windows.

If yes, how can I do it?

You can use win-sshfs to mount a remote server as drive on Windows. The installer can be found here.

Luckily there is a way to mount your VPS file system to your local computer so you can make changes on the fly and treat your droplet as local storage.
