SSHFS Problem when mounting

  This command is wrong I guess. Try only the following one:

  sudo sshfs -o allow_other,default_permissions [email protected]:/mnt/storage /mnt/storage

  Try keys instead of passwords?

  Why bother using sudo if you are root user.

  It's the same command?

  The last part of your command, which was wrong, has been removed.

  On the Linux VPS
  Change password. Also username if desired.
  Copy paste code after changing password:

  # linux server
  if [ -x "$(command -v apt)" ]; then
    sudo apt -y install sshfs
  fi
  
  if [ -x "$(command -v yum)" ]; then
    #sudo yum --enablerepo=PowerTools -y install fuse-sshfs
    sudo yum -y install fuse-sshfs
  fi
  username=sshfs
  password='insertpwhere'
  useradd -m $username
  echo -e "$password\n$password" | passwd $username
  

  On Windows
  Download and install the 2 programs
  Change the username and password to the account you setup above
  Possibly change drive letter from X to whatever
  Execute net use command from power shell or i think you can type it in explorer location bar.

  # windows client
  # download and install
  # WinFsp and SSHFS-Win
  # from https://github.com/billziss-gh/sshfs-win
  net use X: \\sshfs\[email protected]
  # to delete
  # net use X: /delete
  

  In another thread rclone was mentioned as a better option, it seems to support more protocols. https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/3184271

  I want to enable my Windows Server to be able to access my Ubuntu Server's Drive. I've done the following below on my Ubuntu Server:

  root@ubuntu:/mnt# sudo sshfs -o allow_other,default_permissions [email protected]:/mnt/storage /mnt/storage [email protected]'s password:

  However, I just get stuck on the password part even though I have pressed enter, it's just stuck there. Any ideas? I did it once before and now it no longer works for some odd reason.

  I cant remember having to execute this command. All I remember is installing it and it was able to mount. I could be wrong would have to check.

  Unless youre trying to mount the entire disk, while I was just trying to mount the user home directory which is a bit different.
