    <title>Introduction to Sshfs</title>

    <para>
      The <application>Sshfs</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.

    <title>Using Sshfs</title>

    <para>
      To mount an ssh server you need to be able to log into the server. For
      example, to mount your remote home folder to the local ~/MOUNTPATH (the
      directory must exist and you must have permissions to write to it):
    </para>

<screen><userinput>sshfs HOSTNAME:/home/userd ~/MOUNTPATH</userinput></screen>

    <para>
      When you've finished work and want to unmount it again:
    </para>

<screen><userinput>fusermount -u ~/MOUNTPATH</userinput></screen>

    <para>
      You can also mount an <application>sshfs</application> filesystem at boot
      by adding an entry similar to the following in the
      <filename>/etc/fstab</filename> file:
    </para>

<screen>USER@HOSTNAME:/path    /media/MOUNTPATH    fuse.sshfs  _netdev,IdentityFile=/home/USER/.ssh/id_rsa    0 0</screen>

    <para>
      See <command>man 1 sshfs</command> and <command>man 8 mount.fuse</command>
      for all available mount options.
