    <title>Introduction to Sshfs Fuse</title>

    <para>
      The <application>Sshfs Fuse</application> package contains a filesystem
      client based on the SSH File Transfer Protocol. This is useful for
      mounting a remote computer that you have ssh access to as a local
      filesystem. This allows you to drag and drop files or run shell commands
      on the remote files as if they were on your local computer.

      To mount an ssh server you need to be able to log into the server. For
      example, to mount your home folder on the computer called THINGY on the
      folder ~/MOUNTPATH (the directory must exist and you must have permissions
      to write to it):
