“This tutorial explains how you can mount a directory from a
remote server on the local server securely using SSHFS. SSHFS
(Secure SHell FileSystem) is a filesystem that serves
files/directories securely over SSH, and local users can use them
just as if the were local files/directories. On the local computer,
the remote share is mounted via FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace). I
will use Ubuntu 11.10 for both the local and the remote
server.”
