SSHFS Options

SSHFS is a useful tool for mounting remote file systems over SSH. By default, SSHFS maps the remote user's home directory. However, there are several options available that can change the behavior of SSHFS.

• sshfs.r: Connects to the remote user's root directory instead of their home directory.
• sshfs.k: Maps the remote user's home directory and uses the SSH key stored in the local user's .ssh/id_rsa file.
• sshfs.kr: Adds the remote user's root directory and uses the locally stored SSH key.
