In the checklist below, the "local" pc is the one you are working on, and the "remote" pc is the one that has the directory you want to access.
- Generate an ssh key for passwordless login, as follows:
- local: run ssh-keygen, do not add a pass phrase
- local: copy .ssh/id_rsa.pub to the remote host
- remote: cat id_rsa.pub >> .ssh/authorized_keys
- local: test if passwordless login to remote host works
- local: install sshfs
- local: sshfs remote:/directory /mnt/local_mountpoint -o follow_symlinks
To unmount, use:
- fusermount -u /mnt/local_mountpoint
