So, ordinary users can just mount stuff with the SSHFS. The communication between the client and the server is done over SSH, so it's encrypted. And when you use it without any special options, it uses just a standard SSH network port, so it probably works through a firewall, just great. But, you can, if you want, use a different port, if you have a SSH server configured to a different port, then that's fine too. Be careful with sharing, if multiple people are using SSHFS at the same time, in the same directory, it might not work well. So, SSHFS tries to do some handy things like, read ahead, and, if you want, you can have it do synchronous writes, and you can have it do compression. And you can have it, through a file that you can create, map user ID numbers, so that the names on things make sense. You can see a bunch…
