SSHFS (SSH Filesystem)

SSHFS allows you to mount a Raspberry Pi's files over an SSH session.

Install

Linux

Install SSHFS on your computer with:

sudo apt-get install sshfs

(This assumes you are using a Debian-based system)

Mac

See osxfuse

Usage

First, create a directory on your host computer:

mkdir pi

Then mount the Raspberry Pi's filesystem to this location:

sshfs [email protected]: pi

Now enter this directory as if it is a regular folder; you should be able to see and access the contents of the Raspberry Pi:

cd pi
ls

You can also browse the Pi's filesystem using your computer's file manager (including drag-and-drop to copy files between devices), and use your computer's applications (text editors, image processing tools, and so on) to edit files directly on the Pi.
