NAME
SSHFS lesystem client based on ssh

SYNOPSIS
mounting sshfs [user@]host:[dir] mountpoint [options] unmounting fusermount -u mountpoint

DESCRIPTION
SSHFS (Secure SHell FileSystem) is a le system for Linux (and other operating systems with a FUSE implementation, such as Mac OS X or FreeBSD) capable of operating on les 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 les being securely served over SSH just as if they were local les on his/her computer. On the remote computer the SFTP subsystem of SSH is used. If host is a numeric IPv6 address, it needs to be enclosed in square brackets.

OPTIONS
general options: o opt,[opt...] mount options h help print help V version print version SSHFS options: p PORT equivalent to o port=PORT C equivalent to o compression=yes F ssh_congle species alternative ssh conguration le 1 equivalent to o ssh_protocol=1 o reconnect reconnect to server o delay_connect delay connection to server o sshfs_sync synchronous writes o no_readahead synchronous reads (no speculative readahead) o sshfs_debug print some debugging information o cache=BOOL enable caching {yes,no} (default: yes) o cache_timeout=N sets timeout for caches in seconds (default: 20) o cache_X_timeout=N sets timeout for {stat,dir,link} cache
