edit wsl files from windows with sftp

i just hit on a way to edit files in wsl that in retrospect seems really obvious. i'm wondering if there's some reason it's a bad idea or if alternately people know about it.

the problem i'm trying to solve is editing files in the linux partition of wsl from windows. ie: editing $home/.bashrc with notepad. we're told to absolutely never change the linux filesystem files from windows because things can break.

so my solution is to run the sshd daemon under wsl. then use that to connect to my linux files via sftp running as a windows app. i'm using sftp net drive to mount my linux files as a windows drive, there are other options. then use any windows program to edit the files in that drive, like notepad or sublime text.

all the actual file i/o is happening under wsl thanks to sftp, so it should be safe. sftp imposes some overhead but it's not a big deal for just editing files. one nice thing is sftp seems to do a pretty good job at preserving unix file permissions even when editing from windows.
