Remote File Access

sftp

  • Good for simple single file transfers
  • -a flag is really useful to continue transfer if it gets interrupted

sshfs

  • Mounts the remote file system
  • Method: bash mkdir <local_mount_point> # (usually /tmp/remote is a good choice) sshfs <user>@<remote>:<remote_mount_point> <local_mount_point> # ... When finished, don't forget to umount <local_mount_point>
