sshfs
using sshfs
Usage does not require administrative privileges.
Mounting remote filesystems with sshfs
sshfs username@remotesystem:/full/path/to/directory /mount/point
For example, sshfs meyer@schl15:/nfs/userdocs/ps/meyer /sshfs
would use
schl15
as a host to access the directory /nfs/userdocs/ps/meyer
(in other
words, that user's NFS home directory).
Unmounting remote filesystems
umount /sshfs
On Linux, if you don't have root or sudo access, you can mount sshfs via a directory in your home directory. Just remember to specify the fill PATH to the directory. On Centos, you will need the fuse-sshfs
package installed.
Setting up sshfs on OS X (Mac) systems
Installation requires administrative privileges.
