Description
For some reason, it seems that it is no possible to climb up folders when writing the address in the windows explorer address bar. For instance:
\\sshfs\username@linux-host!9999
takes to you the user's home directory, as expected, but:
\\sshfs\username@linux-host!9999\..\..
just takes you back to the "Network" place in windows 10, instead of climbing up two folders. Trying to use absolute paths:
\\sshfs\username@linux-host!9999\\media
does not work either, an error message saying that windows could not access that destination.
However, all these commands work if they are used when creating a new network drive.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by reproducing the SSHFS paths in the Windows Explorer address bar and compare them with the same paths used when creating a network drive; done means parent-directory traversal and absolute paths work consistently in Explorer.
