SSH

Mount Remote Directory via SSH(FS)

Mount

$ sshfs [user@]host:[dir] mountpoint -o reconnect,uid=$(id -u),gid=$(id -g),max_conns=8,ServerAliveInterval=60

Important options:

compression=yes

Compress data during transfer. Only use this on slow connections transferring easily compressible data.

gid

Set group of file.

imapd=user

Map UID and GID of all files to the current user.

max_conns=N

Open up to N parallel SSH connections. Improves responsiveness as the underlying SFTP protocol is blocking.

Support added in 3.7.0 released on 2020-01-03.

reconnect

Automatically reconnect if connection is lost. (Files need to be reopen()ed after reconnecting.)

Enable ServerAliveInterval to ensure reconnecting works properly.

ServerAliveInterval=N

Terminate connection after 3 * N seconds. See ServerAliveInterval and ServerAliveCountMax in ssh_config(5).

uid

Set owner of file.

Umount

Reglar umount:

$ fusermount -u mountpoint

Lazy umount (i.e. after connection loss):

$ fusermount -uz mountpoint
