SSHFS is a FUSE-based filesystem client that mounts remote directories over the SSH File Transfer Protocol. It requires no server-side setup since most SSH servers already support SFTP, and supports multithreading, directory caching, and automatic reconnection.

Use cases

  • mount a remote server directory as a local filesystem over ssh
  • edit files on a remote host with local tools
  • access remote files without setting up nfs or samba
  • mount ssh-accessible storage into a vm or container
  • browse a remote home directory from the file manager

When to avoid

  • you need high-performance or low-latency file access over slow or unreliable links
  • you require a permanent, cluster-wide shared filesystem like NFS
  • you are on Windows without a FUSE compatibility layer
