Found a new toy: sshfs

Friday, November 6th, 2009 by Steve

I just discovered sshfs. This allows you to mount a remote filesystem using nothing at the server end other than a standard ssh server.

Once installer, as a non-root user you can just:

mkdir mnt
sshfs username@server.domain.com:/path mnt

Then you can access it, copy files etc (both directions) as if it were a local directory

ls mnt

When finished this disconnects it:

fusermount -u mnt
