I am trying to use sshfs to mount a remote file system. All the guides I can find online say I need to add myself to the fuse group but when I run
sudo gpasswd -a $USER fuse
I get
gpasswd: group 'fuse' does not exist in /etc/group
however when I run:
sudo apt-get install fuse
I get
fuse is already the newest version.
I am using a relatively new install of Ubuntu 15.10 on 64 bit.
Thanks for any help
Based on my experiments, explicitly creating the
fuse
group and adding your user to it is NOT required to mountssh
file system.To summarize, here are the steps copied from this page:
sshfs
$ mkdir /home/johndoe/sshfs-path/
/remote/path
to/home/johndoe/sshfs-path/
$ sshfs [email protected]:/remote/path /home/johndoe/sshfs-path/
$ fusermount -u /home/johndoe/sshfs-path/
