NAME
SSHFS - filesystem client based on ssh
SYNOPSIS
mounting
sshfs [user@]host:[dir] mountpoint [options]
unmounting
fusermount -u mountpoint
DESCRIPTION
SSHFS (Secure SHell FileSystem) is a file system for Linux (and other
operating systems with a FUSE implementation, such as Mac OS X or
FreeBSD) capable of operating on files on a remote computer using just
a secure shell login on the remote computer. On the local computer
where the SSHFS is mounted, the implementation makes use of the FUSE
(Filesystem in Userspace) kernel module. The practical effect of this
is that the end user can seamlessly interact with remote files being
securely served over SSH just as if they were local files on his/her
computer. On the remote computer the SFTP subsystem of SSH is used.
