If you wanna use sshfs, this software should be installed:
$apt-get install openssh-client openssh-server sshfs
If server not always online and you want to mount automatically sshfs when server online, I use this bash.
Bud before running bash, you have to be able connect to server without a password.
You have to create pabulic key on client
$ssh-keygen -t rsa
And then copy key from client ~/.id_rsa.pub (single long line in the text file)
to server ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
I added this script to "Startup Applications".
Download sshfs.bash
#!/bin/bash
