We can mount the remote directory on the Linux Server by using the following three simple commands only.

Login in to the server as a root user and run the commands one by one and make sure that you are using your own remote server ip instead of our test server ip198.168.0.2

yum install fuse-sshfs

The above command will install the fuse-sshfs

Create the mount directory where you want to mount the remote directory.

mkdir /mnt/remotemount

Now mount the remote directory make sure that you are using the correct remote directory server ip and root password

sshfs root@192.168.1.2:/the_physical_path_which_you_are_mounting  /mnt/remotemount

Now check the mount point

mount

If you want to remove the mount point then use the following command

umount /mnt/remotemount

If above command shows the error “mount point busy” the use the following command

umount -l /mnt/remotemount
