Mount Remote Filesystems via SSH

Posted by michael on Sunday June 1, 2003 @04:20AM from the just-because-you-can dept.

eval writes "Ever wanted secure access to your files at work or school, but didn't have the necessary permissions or were thwarted by a firewall that allowed ssh access only? The SHFS kernel module allows you to mount directories from machines to which you have shell access. File operations are executed as shell commands on the server via SSH (or rsh). Caching keeps it reasonably fast, and remote commands are optimized based on the server's OS."

Parent's comment is completely pointless and without insight, mentions pop-culture reference for additional whoring.
