Mounting & Unmounting
In this tutorial we assume you want to mount a folder from a computer with the IP 192.168.0.1. The mountpoint will be /mnt/sshfs. You are doing these steps as root user. You have the sshfs software installed.
Ubuntu
1. check whether the ssh port is open on the remote machine:
nmap 192.168.0.1 -p 22
2. Load kernel drivers for sshfs
modprobe fuse
3. For permanent use add 'fuse' at the end of /etc/modules
cat >>/etc/modules<<EOF fuse EOF
4. Add your user to the fuse user group:
adduser root fuse
Now you logout and login into the machine
5. Create local mountpoint in your home directory
mkdir /mnt/sshfs
6. Mount the remote temp folder (as an example) to our mountpoint:
sshfs 192.168.0.1:/tmp /mnt/sshfs
SUSE
1. check whether the ssh port is open on the remote machine:
nmap 192.168.0.1 -p 22
2. Create local mountpoint in your home directory
mkdir /mnt/sshfs
3. Mount the remote temp folder (as an example) to our mountpoint:
sshfs 192.168.0.1:/tmp /mnt/sshfs
