# sshfs
|
|
|
|
SSHFS is a filesystem client based on the SSH File Transfer Protocol.
|
|
Since most SSH servers already support this protocol it is very easy to set up: i.e. on the server side there's nothing to do.
|
|
On the client side mounting the filesystem is as easy as logging into the server with ssh.
|
|
|
|
The idea of sshfs was taken from the SSHFS filesystem distributed with LUFS, which I found very useful.
|
|
There were some limitations of that codebase, so I rewrote it.
|
|
Features of this implementation are:
|
|
|
|
* Based on FUSE (the best userspace filesystem framework for linux ;-)
|
|
* Multithreading: more than one request can be on it's way to the server
|
|
* Allowing large reads (max 64k)
|
|
* Caching directory contents
