FreeCommander Forum

In File Explorer I can access my linux files in the windows subsystem linux directory below. Freecommander does not seem to be aware of \\wsl$ though.

Is there any way I can access my linux files using Freecommander?

"\\wsl$\Ubuntu-18.04"

-Thanks

I could not use freecommander to access the \\wsl$ share at all in freecommander

I was able to workaround with a mapped network drive.

Use explorer.exe to visit \\wsl$ and right click to map the network drive of your distro.

Then from free commander you can access the network drive letter and use favorites as expected.

Also the Dos box becomes an issue. I wanted to use wsl bash and work out of there. It doesn't know how to react to the mapped drive. Assuming you have a default wsl set i use this bat file. Then in the freecommander dos box you can call this.bat "%ActivDir%" and it will map to the mnt for drive C or use the converted linux style path to start a bash terminal in the matched wsl path.


@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion

set arg1=%1
set "arg1=%arg1:\=/%"

FOR /F "TOKENS=1,2 DELIMS=:" %%G IN (%arg1%) DO (
set "drive=%%G"
set "upath=%%H"
)
if %drive%==C (
set "upath=/mnt/c%upath%"
)
wsl.exe -- bash -c "cd %upath% && bash"
