If you want to mount remote filesystem automatically each time when your system reboots, Add following entry to /etc/fstab file. :/home/user on /opt/ssh type fuse.sshfs (rw,nosuid,nodev)Īlso naviate to your mount point, you will see files there from remote system $ cd /sshĤ. dev/mapper/vg_svr1-lv_root on / type ext4 (rw)ĭevpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) After mounting remote filesystem on local mount point, verify it by running mount command. You will get some output like below: The authenticity of host ' (192.168.1.5)' can't be established.

For this guide you will need the SSH daemon running on your server. SSHFS can eliminate the need to use FTP/SFTP to transfer files to and from a remote server. SSHFS (Secure Shell FileSystem), is a tool that allows users to securely access remote filesystems over the SSH protocol.
