SSH based filesystem

This is a file system client based on the SSH File Transfer Protocol.

  • Based on FUSE (the best userspace file system framework for linux 😉
  • Multi-threading: more than one request can be on it’s way to the server
  • Allowing large reads (max 64k)
  • Caching directory contents
yum install fuse-sshfs

If you want use sshfs as non root user: usermod -a -G fuse vitalijus

Mounting SSHFS

sshfs user@remote:/path local_mount_point options

You can even use fstab to use SSHFS permanently:
user@dremote:/path local_mount_point fuse.sshfs defaults,allow_other,_netdev 0 0
