So I created an SFTP server on a windows 10 machine using OpenSSH. I am able to login in to the network folder(through explorer) and access files But i am not able to rename/delete/copy/paste files into the network folder. Whenever I try to delete a file it show it gets deleted but when I refresh the connection the file again returns back.

So, I tried opening this network folder through WInSCP and it works completely fine there.

When I checked the permissions to my network folder(through explorer) I saw that I didn't had full control over the drive{1FC7F1D7-80C0-46EB-A00C-E77203717EF6}

So I tried changing the permission and it showed me this:

{952E97E6-E165-4F12-9DA8-C859F1C25873}

I Clicked continue but the same error showed and after clicking Continue again it showed me this:

{5F4884B0-9843-438E-A46D-87FC8A63477D}

I really don't think this error is being caused from the host side beacuse I don't get such errors in WinSCP.

Also I am able to create a folder/file but I am not able to rename them, It shows me this error:

{AEC74D22-E6BC-4ACE-96E2-04D7477F2D38}

I don't know who this user is. It doesn't even show in local user group.

Also in the first picture I don't know why there is a user called None.

Should I just use Win SCP ton access my network drives?

I went into security and advanced to change the ownership but it showed me this error:{D9A639B0-679B-4A93-9657-A8ECFFB14B5C}

After Clicking on close it showed me this error:

{7D05F80C-0967-4C7A-AB9C-1661972FEA59}

    Can you tell where the problem is?

    So part of the problem is that there is a lot that I don't know about your environment/requirements.

    If you are using WinFSP and SSHFS-win to map that psuedo network "Z" drive, then it's not a "normal" network drive to a Windows SMB file share. Functionality is going to be limited. (See my first comment.) Is there a reason that you are using that software?

    An educated guess is that you have that drive definition configured to be read-only.

    If WinSCP works correctly (SFTP/SSH client <<--->> SSH server), then why don't you just use that software? That would lead me to believe that your problems are related to your use of WinFSP and SSHFS-win. If they don't work correctly, then you would need to ask for help in their support forums. They do not appear to be Microsoft software.

    If your client and server machines are on the same private network, then why don't you use a good old mapped drive to a network share on the Win10 "server"? That would allow you to use the Windows explorer as a client without using any 3rd party tools. And if you needed to access the server folder via SFTP on an Android device, you could still have OpenSSH point to the same folder that is shared out.
