SSH (Secure Shell) is a protocol to providing an encrypted channel for logging into another computer over a network and work there.
First of all we need to install sshfs (see also “How to transfer a file from local path to SSH server“).
SSHFS (SSH Filesystem) is a filesystem client to mount and interact with directories and files located on a remote server or workstation over a normal ssh connection.
MacOS:
brew install sshfs
Ubuntu:
sudo apt install sshfs
Other *nix: I think you understand the basic idea 🙂
Mount the remote directory as a local directory:
sshfs {{username}}@{{remote_host}}:{{remote_directory}} {{mountpoint}}
For example:
sshfs USER@REMOTE_HOST:/path/to/remote_directory \
/home/user/local_directory
