Welcome to FSproxy Homepage!
FSproxy is a small application that runs in the system tray and lets you access GNU/Linux partitions from within Microsoft Windows. The list of detected partitions is always availible at \\fsproxy and a single one can easily be mapped to a network drive using address like \\fsproxy\<partition>. By default partitions are mounted as read-only but experimental write support can be enabled. FSproxy currently supports: ext2, ext3, ext4, reiserfs, jfs, xfs and few other filesystems. For many of them there is no known Windows driver available (although note that FSproxy is not a driver itself).
