Connecting to a server across the internet is much more secure using  SSH. There is a way that you can mount a folder on a remove server using  the SSHFS service.

There are quite a few steps that you’ll have to follow, so get ready  and open a terminal window.

First we’ll install the module:

Quotation

sudo apt-get install sshfs

Now we will use the modprobe command to load it

Quotation

sudo modprobe fuse

We’ll need to set up some permissions in order to access the  utilities. Replace <username> with your username.

Quotation

sudo adduser  fuse  sudo
chown root:fuse /dev/fuse  
sudo chmod +x /dev/fusermount

Since we’ve added ourselves to a user group, we need to logout and  back in at this point before we continue.

Now we’ll create a directory to mount the remote folder in. I chose  to create it in my home directory and call it remoteserv.

Quotation

mkdir ~/remoteserv

Now we have the command to actually mount it. You’ll be prompted to  save the server key and for your remote password.

Quotation

sshfs @:/remotepath ~/remoteserv

Now you should be able to cd into the directory and start using it as  if it was local.

Quotation

geek@ubuntuServ:~/remoteserv$ ls -l total 16
