#!/linuxSucks/SSHFS Mounting a remote filesystem over ssh
Jun 22, 2021SSHFS allows you to mount a remote filesystem using SFTP. Most SSH servers support and enable this SFTP access by default, so SSHFS is very simple to use - there’s nothing to do on the server-side.
Syntax
sshfs [user@]host:[dir] mountpoint [options]
Examples
To use sshfs you need a mounting point in your system, in Linux system usually the mount point is in /mnt directory.
Create a mounting point (example)
mkdir ~/Documents/myVideos
sudo mkdir /mnt/myVideos
You can create a mounting point in another directories like you home directory or anywere you like.
To mount a directory
sshfs user@000.000.000.0000:/home/user/Videos ~/mnt/myVideos -o reconnect
Or, we can use domain name/host
sshfs user@domain.com:/home/user/Videos ~/mnt/myVideos -o reconnect
To unmount a directory
fusermount3 -u ~/mnt/myVideos
For more information check the manpage
man sshfs
