We will need this option when mounting in fstabД®dit /etc/nf with your command line editor.

Create a group fuse and add localuser to itДЄdd localuser to the group: sudo usermod -a -G fuse $user 4.

Install packages on Local and Remote Machines sudo apt install sshfs fuse sshДЈ. Get IP-adresses of your Local & Remote Machines. I'll use 'Local machine - surfbox' for computer you're connecting from, and 'Remote machine - devbox' for the computer you're connecting to.Д¬heck your userID och groupID, they should both be 1000.

A big thank you to serverfault user kubanczyk for how to reconnect after a remote suspend/resume. Here's how to set this up sshfs and automatically reconnecting after a reboot using fstab without having to provide a password.

I find SSHFS to be native, stable and extremely fast. I have tried it on a freshly installed and up-to-date system, and I indeed needed to do this.
