Hello, I'm trying to access my WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) folders from within Far.
WSL is a built-in Windows feature, I use it a lot.
Since Windows 10 1903, you can access your files like this: \\wsl$\Ubuntu\home, and browse all your files.
But that doesn't work in Far, I also tried net:, I think it shows up as "Plan 9 Network Provider", but selecting it just says "The network name cannot be found".
Does anyone have any ideas?

Accessing WSL Shares
I have this issue from time to time. I just open and close bash console (this reinitializes Windows Subsystem Linux) and after that I can access Linux folders by running
(not net:, 'net:' won't work).
Code: Select all
cd \\wsl$\Ubuntu-18.04\home\

Thank you, I still couldn't get it to work but when you said it *should* work I kept trying!
I needed to do this:
> wsl -t Ubuntu
Then re-opened, then it worked.
