SSHFS Remote Mounts

Mount remote server filesystems locally over SSH using SSHFS.

TUI Usage

Press Shift+M to open the SSHFS command generator modal. It generates ready-to-run mount and unmount commands with full SSH configuration:

  • Ports and identity files
  • Jump proxies (ProxyJump)
  • Auto-reconnect options
  • Read-only flags

The generated commands are copied to your clipboard.

CLI Usage

neossh --sshfs web-prod

This generates and copies SSHFS mount/unmount command templates for the specified server alias.

Example Output

# Mount
sshfs user@192.168.1.10:/remote/path /local/mountpoint \
  -p 22 \
  -o IdentityFile=~/.ssh/id_ed25519 \
  -o reconnect,ServerAliveInterval=15,ServerAliveCountMax=3

# Unmount
