As the new improved cross platform version of Sublime Text 2 has been released. (go and download it as fast as humanly possible )
I thought it might be nice to edit my remote files over ssh as if they were local files. How does one do that, one asks..
$ sudo apt-get install sshfs
This will also install fuse-utils and libfuse2, which are required.
Now, create a local directory where you want the files mounted. Create a directory and make yourself the owner of the directory:
$ sudo mkdir /media/dir-name
$ sudo chown your-username /media/dir-name
Add yourself to the fuse group:
$ sudo adduser your-username fuse
Then mount the remote directory to your local directory:
$ sshfs root@example.com:/stuff /media/home-pc
Where “/stuff” is the folder on the computer with the domain name “example.com”, which I want to mount and access on my local computer at the location /media/home-pc.
To unmount the directory once your work is done, use the command:
$ fusermount -u /media/home-pc
