I've used ssh for years, played with ssh local and remote
forwarding. Use SCP frequently. Used remote X11 display over SSH.
But I didn't know about SSHFS!
Simple way of mounting remote directories locally.
mkdir gopher
sshfs user@remote:/srv/gopher gopher
that mounts the remote "/srv/gopher" directory on local "gopher"
directory.
cd gopher
and you're in the remote "/srv/gopher" directory!
When finished just un-mount it
umount gopher
job done!
I'm amazed I haven't used it before.
I used NFS many years ago when I had a small network of Linux
boxes, but it was always tricky to set up.
I'll keep using SSHFS for a while and see how I like it!
