SSHFS is a FUSE-based network filesystem client that mounts remote directories over SFTP. It requires no server-side setup since most SSH servers enable SFTP by default.
Use cases
- mount a remote server directory locally over ssh
- edit files on a remote machine with local tools
- access remote home directory as a local folder
- mount folders inside VMs via vsock or directport
- browse remote files without scp or rsync
When to choose
- you want simple, zero-configuration remote mounting over SSH
- you cannot install anything on the server
- you need ad-hoc access to remote files on Linux or macOS
When to avoid
- you need high performance for heavy I/O workloads
- you need actively developed software with regular feature work
- you need a cross-platform solution including Windows
