How To Mount a Remote Directory With SSHFS on a Linux

by

To mount a remote directory using SSHFS on a Linux system, follow these steps:

  1. Install the sshfs package, which provides support for mounting remote directories via SSH:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sshfs
  1. Create a mount point for the remote directory, for example:
sudo mkdir /mnt/remote
  1. Mount the remote directory using the sshfs command:
sshfs <user>@<remote_host>:<remote_directory> /mnt/remote
  1. Verify that the remote directory has been successfully mounted by listing the contents of the mount point:
ls /mnt/remote

Replace <user>, <remote_host>, and <remote_directory> with the appropriate values for your environment. The <user> is the username on the remote host, <remote_host> is the hostname or IP address of the remote host, and <remote_directory> is the path to the remote directory you want to mount.

When you’re finished using the remote directory, you can unmount it using the following command:

sudo umount /mnt/remote
