Host Machine

On your host machine install “fuse-utils libfuse2 sshfs”.

apt-get install fuse-utils libfuse2 sshfs

Next you have to load the module fuse on your host machine

modprobe "fuse"

Client Machine

On your Client machine install “sshfs”.

apt-get install sshfs

Connecting the Mount

sshfs uses almost the same syntax of scp with the exception of the port switch being the same as ssh and not scp (if you are running ssh on the standard port you will not need to worry about this).

The command to make the connection is simply listed below

sshfs username@hostname:/path/to_mount /mnt/your_mount_path

When you are done you can unmount the share

fusermount -u /path/to_mount

NOTE One thing I have noticed in gnome and to keep in mind that if you are mounting a mount with sshfs is that it will not show up in nautilus.
