Install Software using Chocolatey
First install Chocolatey using a PowerShell as administrator:
Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor 3072; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))

Run a PowerShell with administrative rights and run:

SSHFS
SSH Setup
Install OpenSSH from chocolatey as the one packed with Windows is quite old (link):
choco install openssh --package-parameters="/SSHAgentFeature"
Then generate the keys:
ssh-keygen
Start the SSH-Agent to automatically unlock the keys:
# Start the service Start-Service ssh-agent # This should return a status of Running Get-Service ssh-agent # Now load your key files into ssh-agent ssh-add
Copy the public key with:
Get-Content -Path $HOME\.ssh\id_rsa.pub | Set-Clipboard
And add it to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the server side.
Finally, it should be possible to ssh to the server.
SSHFS
Install sshfs-win.
Run the Registry Editor, and find Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\WinFsp\Services\sshfs.kr, then edit CommandLine:
svc %1 %2 %U -o create_dir_umask=000 -o create_file_umask=111 -o umask=000
Then, to mount the network drive using sshfs:
net use X: \\sshfs.kr\thomas@192.168.1.150\srv\storage /persistent:yes
To un-mount it:
net use X: /delete
