Setting up SSHFS connections

First, make sure you can ssh to the server

On the local machine (universe must be enabled):

$ sudo aptitude install sshfs
$ sudo chmod +x /bin/fusermount
$ mkdir /home/giuseppe/remote
$ sudo modprobe fuse

the last command loads fuse. In order for this to happen automatically at startup:

$ sudo cp /etc/modules /etc/modules_bak
$ sudo sh -c "echo 'fuse' >> /etc/modules"

Now the actual mounting:

$ sshfs the.remote.machine:/shared/path /home/giuseppe/remote
