Title: support for \\wsl$ ?
Post by: commander on March 06, 2022, 10:08:44
MC can't find \\wsl$, but it can find \\wsl$\Ubuntu-20.04\
Windows File Explorer will show all subsystems under.

Not sure what \\WSL$ is exposed as, Might be a Windows Shell only thing.
If it was a normal network thing it should be found in network device.

How come MC can find \\wsl$\Ubuntu-20.04 but don't know \\wsl$?

It is how Windows works. I guess \\WSL$ is some sort of fake device. that is not exposed with normal network APIs

I see.
PowerShell can't find the path '\\wsl$' either
(but can find '\\wsl$'Ubuntu-20.04'.)

If you type in the $WSL path then MC will display it.  It is just that the $WSL does not show up in the tree

e.g. \\wsl$\Ubuntu-20.04\
