How to Mount Remote Directories with SSH Learn how to easily mount remote directories with the help of a more secure SSH tool.

Do you have remote directories you need to mount on your local desktop so you can work on code, configurations, documentation or just about any kind of file? If those remote files are on a server and you don't want to share them via the less secure Samba, Secure Shell has you covered.

Thanks to an app called Secure Shell File System, you can easily mount remote directories, with the help of the more secure SSH tool.

Upon successful authentication, the remote directory will be mounted in the MOUNT directory.

You can verify this by issuing the command: ls MOUNT. from within the parent directory housing MOUNT, and you'll see a listing of the remote directory contents.

That's how easy it is to mount a remote directory to your local machine with the help of sshfs.
