On windows you might use something else, do you?
Ah right, no the ddclient is on the router and directly updates dyndns.org so no need for any computers to be powered on. The ddclient is definately working as I can vnc to my computer outside of my local network using the human readable name. Now obviously vnc uses a different port to ssh, but yes my ports are forwarded correctly as I can connect to the ssh server outside of my local network. Looking at sshfs it uses the same port as ssh so that should be all good.

I think this is where my issue is as the computer is a windows one and the drive that is shared out is a usb external drive that has the letter F: assigned to it. I have then shared this out as f$ on that computer. I can change the name of that share if you think thats the issue?
