sshfs: remote mount, the easy way

sshfs rocks! I don’t know if you have ever played with gmail drive, anyone?), but there’s something new for fuse, and it’s way cool. Jochem pointed me here, so credits go to him

sshfs is like nfs on steroids, and even better. No hassle with dark firewall settings and unsecure connections, now you can safely mount a remote filesystem, and it is transported over a ssh connection! And best of all; there’s nothing to be changed on the server-side (ok, it should support the ssh2 protocol, but anyone who doesn’t: shame on you), and you can access your mountpoint the same way as any other mountpoint, how cool is that, so CVS commits, chmod’s, cd’s, mv’s, it’s all in the game…

Go check it out, because it’s really, really cool!
