For just one thing, I find it a lot nicer being able to edit config files in Notepad++ or something instead of vim or nano. In my case I mount the remote Linux server as a drive on Windows.

You can do the same with geany or micro over sshfs if you so choose.

Mounting requires other ports to be opened, which no sysadmin will do on the internet. Ssh on the other hand can be started on a non standard port.

IME most Windows servers are not directly exposed to the Internet, instead one would reach them via VPN.
It's a shame you can't use the Common Internet File System over the Internet. ️

FYI, CIFS refers specifically to the version of SMB1 that was submitted as an RFC. You should absolutely not be using "CIFS" these days.
Wait, they renamed it back?

I do it over SFTP with a program called SFTP Net Drive. No additional ports besides the existing SSH.
