WSL Filer

[yaronzz]

WSL-Ubuntu Filer path is "C:/user/xxxxx/Desktop/"，can it use linux's path "/root/"

Sorry for the late reply.

WSL is still just a virtual machine, not an independent file system, so there is no way to directly access the internal file system from the host machine. But Windows still provides a way to access the internal files through \\wsl$. I will see if this can meet your needs.

If there is any progress, I will update here, please stay tuned, thank you.

I've been using this workaround for a while, but I think there're better ways.

I mounted the WSL dir to Win (as drive Z) so I can access it via Filer the same way I access any other folders on Win.

There're some remaining problems:

1. I can use \\wsl$ to open the dir for WSL via Windows File Explorer, but I can't do so with WindTerm Filer directly. If that's doable, I don't think I need to mount the dir anymore.

2. I haven't figured out how to use this path (in Z drive) at the startup of the session. I tried to modify the Working Directory in the session config, but it seems to take no effect for the Filer.
