sshfs - mount filesystems over ssh protocol

sshfs [user@]host:[dir] mountpoint [options]

sshfs is a filesystem client based on the SSH File Transfer Protocol. Since most SSH servers already support this protocol it is very easy to set up: i.e. on the server side there's nothing to do. On the client side mounting the filesystem is as easy as logging into the server with ssh.
