Help please about SSHFS.

SSHFS services.

Hi friends,

I saw a video on your youtube channel about Mount Network Directories with SSHFS and was amazing, its work perfectly for me. But i would like to map this resource on my FSTAB file, for when the Ubuntu operating sistem is starting the resource will be mounted atumatically.

Hi there. Personally, to accomplish this I would just use some sort of startup script calling sshfs, but since SSHFS is a FUSE filesystem, it is possible to mount it via fstab.

The issue will be authentication: since you normally have to type in your password when you call sshfs, you will need to have SSH keys set up in advance, so you can run "sshfs" without needing to enter a password. (Look up "ssh key-based authentication" for information about that.)

After that's done, I would try out some of the fstab entries on these pages:

https://askubuntu.com/questions/710149/how-to-convert-sshfs-command-to-fstab-entry
https://superuser.com/questions/669287/automount-sshfs-using-fstab-without-mount-a

If you can't get those to work, what kind of problems are you running into?
