#TODO#: IF YOU MOUNT YOUR LOCAL FOLDER, WHICH USUALLY HAS A SYMBOLIC LINK TO THE SHARED FOLDER, THE SYMBOLIC LINK DOES NOT WORK. I WAS ONLY ABLE TO ACCESS TO THE SHARED FOLDER DIRECTLY LINKING TO IT (WITH ITS ABSOLUTE PATH)
Mount a remote directory to use local editors such as atom, emacs, vim, ... with local configuration, for instance with carlitos server
Requires: sshfs installation
- MacOS (using brew)
$ brew install sshfs - Ubuntu (using apt-get)
sudo apt-get install sshfs
we create first a local directory, the mountpoint, since it must exist in advance
$ mkdir ClusterCarlitosFolder
Link a directory dir in the remote host with the local mountpoint using
$ sshfs [user@]host:[dir] mountpoint
E.g.:
$ sshfs -p 5555 [email protected]:/home/yourUser ClusterCarlitosFolder
or, if you have configured the remote host in the ~/.ssh/config file
$ sshfs carlitos:/home/yourUser ClusterCarlitosFolder
we can also alias the command into the file ~/.bashrc (Linux), ~/.aliases (OS X) , ~/.zshrc (Zsh)
alias mountCarlitos='sshfs -p 5555 [email protected]:/home/yourUser ClusterCarlitosFolder'
