SSHFS (Secure SHell FileSystem) is a file system for Linux capable of
|
|
|
|
|
operating on files on a remote computer using just a secure shell login
|
|
|
|
|
on the remote computer. On the local computer where the SSHFS is mounted,
|
|
|
|
|
the implementation makes use of the FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace)
|
|
|
|
|
kernel module.

The practical effect of this is that the end user can seamlessly interact
|
|
|
|
|
with remote files being securely served over SSH just as if they were
|
|
|
|
|
local files on his/her computer. On the remote computer the SFTP subsystem
|
|
|
|
|
of SSH is used.
