SSHFS is a filesystem client to mount and interact with directories and files located on a remote server or workstation over a normal ssh connection.
Install SSHFS
To mount directory in remote server, you will need to install SSHFS
sudo yum -y install sshfs
Once installed, you can simply try to mount your remote server. Note that the remote server must support SSH.
sshfs ck@192.168.10.7:/data/disk1 /mnt/disk1
Auto-mount remote directory while server boot
If you want to setup auto-mounting remote directory, you need to create your own signature like below
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "ck@ckii.com"
While you create your own key, you will need to put your location where to save your key. By default, it will be saved to /YOUR_HOME_DIR/.ssh/id_rsa
Generating public/private rsa key pair. Enter file in which to save the key (/home/ck/.ssh/id_rsa): Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): Enter same passphrase again: Your identification has been saved in /home/ck/.ssh/id_rsa. Your public key has been saved in /home/ck/.ssh/id_rsa.pub. The key fingerprint is: SHA256:EociK2DFhCX85+RuLAoj2pGdr/QXqbNzSiAzUwxOdV4 ck@ckii.com The key's randomart image is: +---[RSA 4096]----+ | .+*= o E | | oo=.o + . | | +.o + . . | | . o. o+ . | | = o=. S. | | B +o o | | o +..o . | |...o +B + | |o.ooo+=O | +----[SHA256]-----+
Follow-up action you need to do is copying ID by ssh-copy-id <id@remote_server>
ssh-copy-id ck@192.168.10.7
If everything went well, you will be able to connect to your server without typing pass-phrase like before.
In order to auto-mount remote directory, you will need to add following lines at /etc/fstab
user_id@server_address:<where_to_mount> <target_directory> fuse.sshfs defaults,idmap=user,allow_other,reconnect,_netdev,users,IdentityFile=<your_key_location> 0 0
Below is an working example
kurapa@192.168.10.7:/data/disk1 /mnt/disk1 fuse.sshfs defaults,idmap=user,allow_other,reconnect,_netdev,users,IdentityFile=/home/ck/.ssh/id_rsa 0 0
