Transfer Protocol. Since most SSH servers already support this
protocol it is very easy to set up: i.e. on the server side
there's nothing to do. On the client side mounting the
filesystem is as easy as logging into the server with ssh. The
idea of sshfs was taken from the SSHFS filesystem distributed
with LUFS, which I found very useful. There were some
limitations of that codebase, so I rewrote it. First you need to
download FUSE 2.2 or later from http://fuse.sourceforge.net/.
You also need to install the devel package for glib2.0. After
installing FUSE, compile sshfs the usual way: make install (as
root) How to mount a filesystem Once sshfs is installed (see
next section) running it is very simple: sshfs hostname:
/mountpoint Note, that it's recommended to run it as user, not
as root. For this to work the mountpoint must be owned by the
user. If the username is different on the host you are
connecting to, then use the "username@host:" form. If you
