René's URL Explorer Experiment

{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","headline":"Have SFTP PSProvider","articleBody":"# Summary of the new feature/enhancement\r\n\r\nhttps://github.com/libfuse/sshfs enables mounting a SFTP endpoint as a local filesystem.  Seems like we should be able to use this concept with a PSProvider thus enabling something like:\r\n\r\n```powershell\r\ncd SFTP:\r\n# no creds passed as using pubkey auth\r\nSFTP:\u003e Connect-SftpServer -HostName foo\r\ncd foo\r\nSFTP:/foo\u003e\r\n```\r\n\r\n# Proposed technical implementation details (optional)\r\n\r\nSince we want this to be cross platform, we shouldn't use `sshfs` linked above.  Instead, we should be able to just use `sftp.exe` directly with some check that it is available.  This will work on Windows with OpenSSH installed.\r\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/SteveL-MSFT","@type":"Person","name":"SteveL-MSFT"},"datePublished":"2019-05-01T00:47:44.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":8},"url":"https://github.com/9505/PowerShell/issues/9505"}
