Mount SSH as filesystem

SSHFS is a filesystem client based on the SSH File Transfer Protocol.

[Install]

localhost ~ # emerge sys-fs/sshfs-fuse in gentoo
localhost ~ # apt-get install sshfs in ubuntu/debian
localhost ~ # ./configure && make && make install manual way

[Mount]

localhost ~ # modprobe fuse if you dont have fuse module loaded
localhost ~ # sshfs user@site.com: /mnt/mountpoint use “-o allow_other” for share between multiple users

[Umount]

localhost ~ # fusermount -u /mnt/mountpoint

Thats it, now you can access with any file explorer like konqueror, nautilus…..we can do almost everything like edit source code, create, delete….

Adding on fstab
sshfs#USERNAME@REMOTE_HOST: REMOTE_PATH MOUNT_POINT fuse SSHFS_OPTIONS 0 0

or Making alias
alias mHost=’modprobe fuse;sshfs user@site.com: /mnt/mountpoint -o allow_other’
