SSHFS

authors:

On OS X:

Download the lastest version of OSXFUSE: http://osxfuse.github.io/
brew install sshfs

Now you can mount a ssh server by issuing the following commands:

mkdir geosparkies.com
sshfs jeffbonhag@geosparkies.com:/home/jeffbonhag geosparkies.com

If you’re on Linux and want to make an entry in your fstab:

mkdir -p /mnt/geosparkies.com

Put an entry in your /etc/fstab like this:

jeffbonhag@geosparkies.com:/home/jeffbonhag /mnt/geosparkies.com fuse.sshfs _netdev,user,idmap=user,transform_symlinks,allow_other,default_permissions,uid=jeff,gid=jeff,umask=0 0 0

then you can do

mount /mnt/geosparkies.com

If you want to use an identity file to mount instead of a password, this may work (untested):

jeffbonhag@geosparkies.com:/home/jeffbonhag /mnt/geosparkies.com  fuse.sshfs _netdev,user,idmap=user,transform_symlinks,identityfile=/home/USER_C/.ssh/id_rsa,allow_other,default_permissions,uid=USER_C_ID,gid=GROUP_C_ID,umask=0 0 0

Although – do you really need to do this? It just occurred to me that the first command is just as easy, and probably makes more sense.
