winsshfs won't remote mount folder from rdp session #36
Description
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. create user account for both local and remote login sessions
2. install win-sshfs
3. right-click & open desktop icon for win-sshfs in rdp session as user
(sshfs.exe appears in Task Manager process list, but no GUI panel)
4. right-click & open desktop icon for win-sshfs, GUI panel appears.
5. select Private Key auth, etc.
6. click mount button
What is the expected output?
-> Expect remote folder to appear in Explorer Navigation pane under Computer,
and to be able to traverse the remote folder & subfolders.
-> Expect button label on mount button in GUI panel to change to unmount.
____________________________________________________
What do you see instead?
-> The button greys out for ~2 secs, then displays "mount" again.
-> The drive shows up in Explorer under Computer a couple of seconds later, but
disappears after about 15 seconds. If I try clicking on the drive during that
15 second period I get an error.
-> The remote folder is not accessible.

Works fine when launched at the WHS console.
Works (with features) when launched via run-as-admin
What version of the product are you using?
win-sshfs: 0.0.1.5
Client OS: Windows Home Server 2011 (Windows Server 2008R2)
Server OS: Fedora 14
Ssh server: openssh-server-5.5p1
Please provide any additional information below.
1. Out of the box, with my (standard user) account allowed to login both at the
console and remotely, I see different results when I run sshfs.exe at the
console versus from an rdp session.
2. running sshfs.exe locally, I can mount a remote folder, walk it, edit files,
etc.
3. running sshfs.exe from the rdp session, the first launch puts an sshfs.exe
line in the Task Manager process list but does not bring up the GUI panel. The
second click brings up the GUI panel.
If I now click the Mount button (same setup as at the console), the mount
button grays out for a couple of seconds, then returns to the Mount state. The
drive shows up in Explorer under Computer a couple of seconds later, but
disappears after about 15 seconds. If I try clicking on the drive during that
15 second period I get an error.
4. However, if I run sshfs.exe using run-as-Admin, it works both locally and in
the rdp session. I can walk the remote folder etc.
