sshfs

I have one remote account of my institute with NFS. Whenever some network has problems, I cannot login my laptop or whatever. I have to stop to do something.
I do not like this situation. Then I decide to use local account of my laptop. However, whenever the remote account will be needed, I use it with ssh. Well, just transfer files from local to remote, and so on. It is also weird.

sshfs gives me a good solution.  Now I can mount my remote account inside my local account.

with sudo or root

apt-get install sshfs

mkdir /media/dir-name

chown localaccount  /media/dir-name/

adduser localaccount fuse
Adding user `localaccount' to group `fuse'...
Done.

rebooting?

some error messages :

• fuse: failed to exec fusermount: Permission denied
  -> chmod +x /usr/bin/fusermount
• modprobe fuse
  open /etc/modules and add fuse at the end.
  
  

mount : sshfs remoteaccount@remote: /media/dir-name/
unmount : fusermount -u /media/dir-name/

It works great!
