Mounting a remote filesystem; local access to
remote files
How to mount a remote ssh filesystem using sshfs provides step
by step instructions on directly accessing files, folders, etc. on
a remote computer as if they were present on your local machine.
The article is Ubuntu-centric, and requires sshfs on the remote
machine (a filesystem client based on the SSH File Transfer
Protocol). Installing sshfs which will also install fuse-utils and
libfuse2. It loads a kernel module and uses Filesystem in Userspace. Because
it loads a kernel module, my linode.com
account doesn't permit sshfs. linode.com runs a User-Mode Linux
kernel.
