How to use SSHFS to Mount Remote Directories over SSH
|
SSHFS (SSH Filesystem) is a filesystem client based on FUSE for mounting remote directories over an SSH connection. SSHFS is using the SFTP protocol, which is a subsystem of SSH and it is enabled by default on most SSH servers.

When compared to other network file system protocols such as NFS and Samba the advantage of SSHFS is that it does not require any additional configuration on the server side. To use SSHFS you only need SSH access to the remote server.
Because SSHFS uses SFTP, all transmitted data between the server and the client must be encrypted and decrypted. This results with a slightly degraded performance compared to NFS, and higher CPU usage on the client and server.
This tutorial will show you how to install the SSHFS client on Linux, macOS, and Windows and how to mount a remote directory.
