title: How do I access the WSL Linux file system from Windows?
body: <p>I found that static files served from a Rails application running in <code>/home/pupeno/projectx</code> take more or less half as much time than the ones served from <code>/mnt/c/Users/pupeno/projectx</code>. It's almost acceptable. I tried webrick and puma (as well as passenger and unicorn, which don't work yet).</p>
  
  <p>So, if I'm going to host my source code in <code>/home/pupeno</code>, how do I access from Windows applications such as RubyMine?</p>
