How to mount remote filesystem with FUSE (Filesystem in USEr space) on CentOS or Ubuntu

On CentOS:  

You will need to install a few packages that are not available in the standard CentOS repository. So, you must enable the EPEL repo:

yum install epel-release -y 

- Install FUSE (Filesystem in USEr space) and SSHFS packages 

yum install fuse sshfs
- Load the FUSE module

modprobe fuse

- Confirm that the FUSE module is loaded 

lsmod | grep fuse
fuse                  84368    2


- Optionally, make sure the FUSE module is loaded upon a reboot 

echo "modprobe fuse" >> /etc/rc.local 

- Using SSHFS. Once the FUSE module is loaded, you can mount your remote partition using SSHFS:

sshfs user@remote_host:/remote_directory  /local_mount_partition

If you have configured the login via ssh key authorization, you can use the following command:

sshfs user@remote_host:/remote_directory  /local_mount_partition -o IdentityFile=<absolute-path-with-key>


Note: If appear the following error 

fuse: bad mount point `/local_mount_partition': Transport endpoint is not connected

execute:      sudo fusermount -u /local_mount_partition


On Ubuntu: 

First you have to install FUSE and SSHFS packages with the apt-get comand:

apt-get install fuse 

apt-get install sshfs


Once the FUSE module is loaded, you can mount your remote partition using SSHFS:

sshfs user@remote_host:/remote_directory  /local_mount_partition


If you have configured the login via ssh key authorization, you can use the following command:

sshfs user@remote_host:/remote_directory  /local_mount_partition -o IdentityFile=<absolute-path-with-key>


Note: If appear the following error 

fuse: bad mount point `/local_mount_partition': Transport endpoint is not connected

execute :  sudo fusermount -u /local_mount_partition
