Download directly to WSL Directories on Windows 11

#1 Post by toggenation » 2024-04-16 00:42

I am wondering if there is a setting to tweak so I can see the WSL Linux directory structure from the FileZilla local file browser pane and download to it on Windows 11 Pro with Ubuntu 22.04 running in WSL2?

At the moment I have to download using FileZilla to C:\Users\username\Downloads and then move the files across to \\wsl.localhost\Ubuntu\home\user\sites\example.com using Windows File Explorer

While you cannot see UNC resources in the local directory tree for performance reasons, what happens if you enter \\wsl.localhost or \\wsl.localhost\Ubuntu as local path? The contents should still show up in the local directory listing.
