How to access EFS folders from the Windows 10 File Explorer using WSL2
EFS is the default place for storing your volumes when you use Fargate and ECS in AWS. This is fine when your main workstation is any Linux environment, but what happens when you work from Windows?
The easy option is to use Windows Subsystem for Linux (Ubuntu, in my case) and mount your EFS:
sudo mount -t nfs4 -o rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,hard,timeo=600,retrans=2,noresvport MY_IP_ADDRESS:/ efs
However, you can access your files from the Console, which is okay if you don't need to do anything more complex.
If you want to mount it as a "regular" Network Drive and access it, the easiest way is to mount it as a "Shared Drive." How do you do it?
Step 1. Create your efs
folder in this location /mnt/wsl
.
Step 2. Mount your efs
using the previous command.
Step 3. Go to this location in the File Explorer, \\wsl$
, and get your Distro's root. In my case, \\wsl$\Ubuntu
Step 4. Copy the path and mount it in Windows:
And that's all. Now you can access your EFS from your Network Drive, for example, Z:\mnt\wsl\efs
