Quick SFTP Mount

This quickly allows mounting of SFTP drives using SSHFS. This script has been tested on OSX and Linux.

Requirements

• node >= 4
• npm >= 4
• OSXFuse >= 3.0 (this is not needed for Linux)
• sshfs >= 2.8

Installation

cd <project_directory>
npm install

Optional

You can add alias sqm="<project_directory>/index.js" to your ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc to allow running the command sqm from anywhere. This may require running chmod +x index.js.

Settings

Create a settings.json file in the project root with all the connection information.

Example

{
	"bookmarks": [
		{
			"name": "site-number-1",
			"host": "127.0.0.1",
			"port": 2222,
			"user": "denevents-staging",
			"pass": "pwwithescaped\"quotes",
      "path":  "wp-includes/css/"
		}, {
			"name": "site-number-2",
			"host": "127.0.0.2",
			"port": 22,
			"user": "awesomeuser",
			"key": "/home/users/me/.ssh/id_rsa",
	    "path": "/"
		}
	]
}

Usage

sqm can be substituted for node index.js if you didn't do the optional alias setup.
