Description
Dear Billziss-gh
sshfs-win is an awesome tool to mount folders of a remote linux machine to windows. I havbe installed it properly and can access the remote linux drive on Z:. But for some reason I am not being able to access it from within the windows subsystem linux (ubuntu18.04 LTS) that I am using. I also followed the steps mentioned in the following link: https://www.howtogeek.com/331053/how-to-mount-removable-drives-and-network-locations-in-the-windows-subsystem-for-linux/. It still remains inaccessible. Please have a look. Should I be doing anything else? Please do have a look and let me know. Thanks Ayan

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported setup: an sshfs-win mount accessible as Z: in Windows but not from Ubuntu 18.04 under WSL. Check the referenced WSL mounting guidance and compare access behavior across Windows and WSL. Done means documenting the cause and making the mounted remote drive accessible from WSL, or clearly recording the supported limitation.
