Bash script to manage sshfs

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
