Quick bash scripts for un/mounting drives using sshfs.

Dependencies:

• sshfs
• fusemount
• nohup + (thunar or nautilus or dolphin or nemo or open for Mac OS) (optional)

To mount drive run:

bash ./sshfsmount.sh

To mount in silent mode run (useful when you want drives to be mounted at startup; also the RSA key should have already been saved):

bash ./sshfsmount.sh --silent [PASSWORD_OF_THE_MACHINE] [USERNAME] [ADDRESS_OF_THE_MACHINE] [[PORT]]

To mount in semi-silent mode

bash ./sshfsmount.sh <username> <machine_ip_address> [<port>]

To unmount run:

bash ./sshfsunmount.sh

To unmount in semi-silent mode run (useful when you want drives to be unmounted at shutdown):

bash ./sshfsunmount.sh --unmount FULL_DIRECTORY_PATH_TO_UNMOUNT
    or
bash ./sshfsunmount.sh -1
    or
bash ./sshfsunmount.sh -2

-1 argument will unmount all the directories inside the default mount path.
-2 argument will force unmount all the directories inside the default mount path.

If you do not want to type "bash" or "sh" before the scripts use:

chmod a+x ./sshfsmount.sh
chmod a+x ./sshfsunmount.sh

Installing the tools

Although the tools were intended to be used as a separate files you can install them using the install.sh script. The installation requires superuser rights.

su -c "bash ./install.sh"

or

sudo bash ./install.sh

Dependencies installation

To install sshfs for Fedora and Cent OS (Red Hat platforms you may need an EPEL repo) use:

su -

dnf install fuse-sshfs

    or

dnf install sshfs

	or

yum install fuse-sshfs

    or

yum install sshfs

To install sshfs for Ubuntu (Debian platforms; sometimes sudo is not needed) use:

sudo apt-get install sshfs
sudo apt-get install fuse-utils

To install sshfs for Mandriva use:

urpmi fuse-utils sshfs
