Example of SSHFS remote filesystem mounting. Useful in case one needs to access files created on a remote server on a regular basis

sshfs.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash

sshfs \
	[email protected]:/home/user/project /local/folder/to/project \
	-o ServerAliveInterval=15 \
        -o ServerAliveCountMax=20 \
        -o reconnect \
        -o defer_permissions \
        -o negative_vncache \
        -o volname=vendorname \
        -o IdentitiesOnly=yes \
        -o IdentityFile=/Users/username/.ssh/keyname \
        -o PreferredAuthentications=publickey \
        -o Ciphers=arcfour256 \
        -o auto_cache \
	-o cache_timeout=300 \
        -o cache=yes

# Increase speed with weaker (but still good enough) encrypted Ciphers:
# aes128-ctr, aes192-ctr, aes256-ctr
# The fastest being arcfour256 followed by [email protected] which both are incredibly secure

# Large files should be compressed:
# -o Compression=yes \
# -o CompressionLevel=9 \ # Range: 1-9

# cache_timeout and ServerAliveInterval are set in seconds
# For the cache timeout you might want to set the time, the remote server needs
# to update its files, plus 1/6 to make sure you only get fresh files.

# @TODO Make sure this file is called when the server starts or reboots

# As an alternative, you can use CurlFtpFS, props @screamingdev Mike Pretzlaw
