How to mount a remote server directory to a computer?

Question

linux

Hello. The situation is this, I have a server located somewhere in the Netherlands. I have Ubuntu 14 on it. I have now installed Mint 18 on my home computer. I finally decided to move to this OS from Windows. Previously, I used WinSCP to access files on it, but on Unixes it is not. A worm has crept into my head, can I somehow "mount" the remote directory on my computer? so that I can walk around its fs as if it were my own, edit files like mine. Is it possible at all? I'm trying to google a similar question, which seems to have been already "thrashed" many times, but I can't google anything sensible, well, or form my thoughts correctly ...

Answer 1

To make it look like locally
1) sudo apt-get install sshfs
2) sudo mkdir /mnt/myremoteserver
3) sudo sshfs -o allow_other -p port_ssh [email protected]:/ /mnt/myremoteserver You
can write in /etc/fstab line [email protected]:/ /mnt/myremoteserver with the necessary keys, for example noauto so that it is not always mounted and user so that you can stupidly write mount /mnt/myremoteserver without any sudo and everything will be mounted.

Answer 2

Open FileBrowser in Mint. There, in the menu File - Connect to Server You
specify the type, for example, SSH, the address and port of your remote server, login, password.

Answer 3

Answer 4

In linux, there is just scp :) There is sshfs. There is nfs. There is samba in the end - you put samba on both computers - and it will be "almost Windows" :)
