sshfs

Copy the link for the latest version of fuse at http://fuse.sourceforge.net/

wget it

wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/fuse/files/fuse-2.X/2.8.7/fuse-2.8.7.tar.gz 

untar

tar zxf fuse-2.8.7.tar.gz

cd into the dir

 cd fuse-2.8.7

be root

sudo su

or

 su -

configure, make, make install

./configure;make;make install

give some libs

echo '/usr/local/lib' > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/fuse.conf

ldconfig

ldconfig

grab sshfs from http://fuse.sourceforge.net/sshfs.html and wget the stable

wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/fuse/files/sshfs-fuse/2.4/sshfs-fuse-2.4.tar.gz

untar

tar zxf sshfs-fuse-2.4.tar.gz

Do all the makes!

 cd sshfs-fuse-2.4
./configure;make;make install

Turns out we have some prerequisits
Error:

No package 'glib-2.0' found
No package 'gthread-2.0' found

Fixes

yum install glib2-devel

now rerun the makes!

./configure;make;make install

Good to go! Now make the mount point

mkdir /mnt/yourmom.com

Done and done.

Switch back to your normal user(or if only root you may need to add /usr/local/bin/ to your path or call sshfs using the direct path) now we can mount a remote filesystem using this syntax

sshfs [email protected]:/media/megabiglife /mnt/yourmom.com

You will then be prompted for the password on the remote host. Some people prefer passwordless authentication using keys, if you are looking for this, I suggest checking here http://lmgtfy.com/?q=how+to+set+up+ssh+keys In my case, the ssh server at the remote host is running on a custom port, if anyone cares, break the logical protocol and add the port number after the sshfs command

sshfs -p 1234 user@hostname:/media/megabiglife /mnt/yourmom.com

To un mount run

umount /mnt/yourmom.com

In case it wasn’t obvious, you should replace the username and hostname fields when using this tutorial. I do like the idea of yourmom.com and megabiglife mounts so that is optional.
