Date: 2017feb6 OS: Linux Distro: RedHat/Fedora/CentOS Q. How can I mount a remote filesystem via ssh? A. Use sshfs. This is a FUSE filesystem. Install:

dnf install sshfs

Make a mount point:

mkdir /mnt/otherhost

Mount:

sshfs user@otherhost.com:/home/user /mnt/otherhost_user

You may want to add some options:

sshfs -o 'noexec,follow_symlinks' user@otherhost.com:/home/user /mnt/otherhost_user

You can use the mount command to mount if you want:

mount -t fuse.sshfs user@otherhost.com:/home/user /mnt/otherhost_user

You'll be asked for the password and that's it.

ls -l /mnt/otherhost_user

Unmount like any other filesystem:

umount /mnt/otherhost_user
