SYNOPSIS
mounting
- sshfs [user@]host:[dir] mountpoint [options]
unmounting
- umount mountpoint
DESCRIPTION
SSHFS (Secure SHell FileSystem) is a file system for Linux (and other operating systems with a FUSE implementation, such as Mac OS X or FreeBSD) capable of operating on files 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 files being securely served over SSH just as if they were local files 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:

SSHFS options:
- -p PORT

- 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
- -o workaround=LIST
-
colon separated list of workarounds
-
- none
- no workarounds enabled
- all
- all workarounds enabled
- [no]rename
- fix renaming to existing file (default: off)
- [no]nodelaysrv
- set nodelay tcp flag in ssh (default: off)
- [no]truncate
- fix truncate for old servers (default: off)
- [no]buflimit
- fix buffer fillup bug in server (default: on)
-
- -o idmap=TYPE
-
user/group ID mapping (default: none)
-
- none
- no translation of the ID space
- user
- only translate UID/GID of connecting user
- file
- translate UIDs/GIDs based upon the contents of uidfile and gidfile
-
- -o uidfile=FILE
- file containing username:uid mappings for idmap=file
- -o gidfile=FILE
- file containing groupname:gid mappings for idmap=file
- -o nomap=TYPE
-
with idmap=file, how to handle missing mappings
-
- ignore

-
- -o ssh_command=CMD

- -o ssh_protocol=N
- ssh protocol to use (default: 2)
- -o sftp_server=SERV

- -o directport=PORT
- directly connect to PORT bypassing ssh -o slave communicate over stdin and stdout bypassing network
- -o slave
- communicate over stdin and stdout bypassing network
- -o disable_hardlink
- link(2) will return with errno set to ENOSYS. Hard links don't currently work perfectly on sshfs, and this confuses some programs. If that happens try disabling hard links with this option.
- -o transform_symlinks
- transform absolute symlinks to relative
- -o follow_symlinks
- follow symlinks on the server
- -o no_check_root
