sshfs / autofs

command line

vi /etc/fstab

sshfs#myuser@myserver.example.com:/mydir /mount/myserver fuse defaults,noatime,port=2222   0       0

For root user, we assume you already have exchanged ssh keys with the target system

apt-get install sshfs autofs
mkdir /autofs
- Thats the target dir for out mount points, name it as you like
vi /etc/auto.master
- ```
/autofs /etc/auto.sshfs --timeout=60
```
  - Umount after 60 seconds
vi /etc/auto.sshfs
- ```
localdir -fstype=fuse,port=2222 :sshfs\#myuser@myserver.example.com\:/targetdir
```
  - non standard port 2222
  - ":" and "#" have special meanings in that file -> escape
service autofs restart
ls -l /autofs/localdir
- Access to our autofs directory mounts it automatically.
- Note that the directory is'nt there when not mounted! (confusing!)
