Information: A GUI tool to manage sshfs-win

[mhogomchungu]

This bug entry introduces SiriKali[1] to users of sshfs-win as a GUI tool they can use to manage sshfs-win.

Instructions on how to setup sshfs-win connections using SiriKali are found here[2].

SiriKali front page has a link to a window's installer. The installer is not signed though and expect to get a warning from windows saying the application is from an unknown publisher.

Thank you @mhogomchungu for your work. I will also post elsewhere about it.

I just added information about SiriKali in the README.

I think you should add this[1] link to the README too because its not very obvious how to set up SiriKali to use sshfs.

I have added a link to SiriKali at the top of the SSHFS-Win README. I have also added the requested link on instructions on how to setup SSHFS-Win from SiriKali.

Commit 906117d.

I am closing this now as there is a prominent link for SiriKali at the README.

Version 1.3.7 of SiriKali was just released[1]

1. This version requires sshfs-win version 3.2 or newer.

2. I have tested keepass with this version and hence its officially supported.

3. When setting a favorite entry, you will see checkbox that says "Volume does not use a password". Check this option to prevent SiriKali from generating a password prompt if the sshfs volume does not require a password because it doesn't require it or because it reads it from keepass or from an rsa keyfile.
