On the\nclient side mounting the filesystem is as easy as logging into the\nserver with ssh.\n\nThe idea of sshfs was taken from the SSHFS filesystem distributed with\nLUFS, which I found very useful.  There were some limitations of that\ncodebase, so I rewrote it.  Features of this implementation are:\n\n  - Based on FUSE (the best userspace filesystem framework for Linux ;)\n\n  - Multithreading: more than one request can be on it's way to the\n    server\n\n  - Allowing large reads (max 64k)\n\n  - Caching directory contents\n\n  - Reconnect on failure\n\nLatest version\n==============\n\nThe latest version and more information can be found on\nhttp://github.com/libfuse/sshfs\n\n\nHow to mount a filesystem\n=========================\n\nOnce sshfs is installed (see next section) running it is very simple:\n\n    sshfs hostname: mountpoint\n\nNote, that it's recommended to run it as user, not as root.  For this\nto work the mountpoint must be owned by the user.  If the username is\ndifferent on the host you are connecting to, then use the\n\"username@host:\" form.  If you need to enter a password sshfs will ask\nfor it (actually it just runs ssh which ask for the password if\nneeded).  You can also specify a directory after the \":\".  The default\nis the home directory.\n\nAlso many ssh options can be specified (see the manual pages for\nsftp(1) and ssh_config(5)), including the remote port number\n(`-oport=PORT`)\n\nTo unmount the filesystem:\n\n    fusermount -u mountpoint\n\n\nInstalling\n==========\n\nFirst you need to download FUSE 2.2 or later from\nhttp://github.com/libfuse/libfuse.\n\nYou also need to install the devel package for glib2.0.  After\ninstalling FUSE, compile sshfs the usual way:\n\n    ./configure\n    make\n    make install (as root)\n\nAnd you are ready to go.\n\nIf checking out from git for the first time also do `autoreconf -i`\nbefore doing `./configure`.\n","funding_links":[],"categories":["C","Operation System","Built On","Interaction","Command-Line Productivity","others"],"sub_categories":["Network Distributed File System","Kafka","Network Distributed File Systems"],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fosxfuse%2Fsshfs","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fosxfuse%2Fsshfs","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fosxfuse%2Fsshfs/lists"}
