How to mount remote directory/filesystem over ssh using sshfs for Ubuntu / Linux

$ sudo apt-get install sshfs

check what is the current user and add this user to sshfs

$ whoami  

 $ sudo adduser my_username fuse 

Now make the local directory for mounting the remote folder as,

$ mkdir my_localdirectory 

Mount the remote directory, using sshfs as,

$ sshfs remote_username@remote_host_ip_or_domainname:/remote_direcory_path/remote_direcory my_localdirectory_path/my_localdirectory

Now, we have mounted remote directory from server to local directory, which we can confirm using mount command as,

$ mount | grep sshfs
remote_username@remote_host_ip_or_domainname:/remote_direcory_path/remote_direcory on my_localdirectory_path/my_localdirectory type fuse.sshfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=my_username)
