Description

SSHFS is a type of network file system that allows users to securely access, transfer, and manage files over a network using the Secure Shell (SSH) protocol. It is a secure alternative to traditional file transfer protocols such as FTP, as it encrypts all data transferred over the network and authenticates the server and the user. SSHFS works by mounting a remote file system using FUSE, which then allows the user to access the remote files as if they were stored locally. SSHFS also allows users to create and manage files and directories on the remote server just as they would on their local machine. The remote machine can be located anywhere in the world, making SSHFS a great option for remotely managing files and servers over a secure connection.
