Mount Filesystem via SSH

• SSHFS stands for Secure SHell FileSystem. Its a filesystem for FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) so its possible for unprivileged user to mount the fs over an SSH connection.

• On server-site a running ssh-server which understand SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) is needed.
• With the built-in SSH authentication and encryption SSHFS is a safe and convenient way for data transfer across insecure networks (Internet).

 sudo apt-get install sshfs

1. create mountpoint

 mkdir ~/sshfs

2. mount (possible without root privileges)

 sshfs user@host:/data/ ~/sshfs

3. umount

 fusermount -u /sshfs/

Solution:

• in your local ssh configuration you can define the host (~/.ssh/config). There must be set a "ServerAliveInterval".

  ServerAliveInterval 60 # alle 60 Sekunden

you ever mount 1T Dataspace … ignore that
