Mount an remote directory using SSHFS

Mount an remote directory using SSHFS

Tested on Ubuntu 18.04 and 18.10

First install the module sshfs, if isn’t installed:

sudo apt-get install sshfs

Load module in kernel:

sudo modprobe fuse

Setting the permissions:

sudo groupadd fuse 

sudo adduser $USER fuse

sudo chown root:fuse /dev/fuse

sudo chmod +x /dev/fusermount

If you get an error from last command: No such file or directory

whereis fusermount

#than whit returned directory

sudo  chmod +x /bin/fusermount

Now we need to create a directory for mounting the remote folder. For example onCloudDir.

mkdir ~/onCloudDir

Now we ran the command to mount the remote folder:

sshfs root@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/var/www/html/laplap-capi ~/onCloudDir

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is an address of your remote server, and ofcource you will need some other path and/or user.
Check if is mounted successfully:

cd ~/onCloudDir
ls -l 

For this to work, without typing username and password, you will need to generate SSH and add it to the ssh-agent
