SSH Filesystem FOR LINUX

SSH Filesystem (also known as sshfs) is an open source FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) file system client based on the SSH (Secure Shell) FTP (File Transfer Protocol) protocol, which is very easy to configure and setup.

SSH Filesystem is heavily inspired by the SSHFS filesystem, which is distributed with the very useful LUFS (Linux Userland Filesystem). However, this version is especially designed for FUSE. It features multithreading, caching of directory contents, and allows large reads (max 64k).

Features:

• Easy configuration and setup


• Multithreading support


• Caching of directory contents


• Large reads support (max 64k)

Installation Instructions:

Usage:

To mount a SSH filesystem, log into the respective server with SSH and run the sshfs hostname: /mountpoint command.
