### Installing on Windows ###
To run rclone ` + commandName + ` on Windows, you will need to
download and install [WinFsp](http://www.secfs.net/winfsp/).
WinFsp is an [open source](https://github.com/billziss-gh/winfsp)
Windows File System Proxy which makes it easy to write user space file
systems for Windows. It provides a FUSE emulation layer which rclone
uses combination with
[cgofuse](https://github.com/billziss-gh/cgofuse). Both of these
packages are by Bill Zissimopoulos who was very helpful during the
implementation of rclone ` + commandName + ` for Windows.
### Limitations ###
This can only write files seqentially, it can only seek when reading.
