How to connect connet/mount with SFTP and private key

[delcypher]

That command should read

 ssh -i /path/to/your/privatekey your_username@yourdomain.com

To use sshfs you need to install the package, the command to install it is

sudo apt-get install sshfs

then to mount a remote host as the directory /mnt (your mount point) (you can use any directory you like even ones with stuff in - it will not write over the top of them the contents will just be invisible until you umount). Note the -o ssh_command... option should not be necessary if you have loaded your key using ssh-add /path/to/your/privatekey .

sshfs username@remotehost.com:/folder/in/remotehost /mnt -o ssh_command='ssh -i /path/to/your/privatekey'

to unmount where /mnt is your mount point:

fusermount -u /mnt

I prefer to use a mount point in my home directory. e.g. /home/username/mnt/ and use that as my mountpoint instead

sshfs username@remotehost.com:/folder/in/remotehost /mnt -o ssh_command='ssh -i /path/to/your/privatekey'

Again, thank you
