SSHFS is a file system that allows users to mount and access remote files over SSH (Secure Shell) connections, providing secure and encrypted access to remote data.

[https://github.com/libfuse/sshfs SSHFS] is a [[Filesystems|file system]] that allows users to mount and access remote files over [[SSH]] (Secure Shell) connections, providing secure and encrypted access to remote data.

For more information on using SSHFS on NixOS, refer to {{NixOS Manual|name=NixOS Manual: Chapter - SSHFS File Systems|anchor=#sec-sshfs-file-systems}}.

You may want to connect to the machine 'interactively' once before configuring the connection declaratively, to add the remote key to your 'known hosts'.

== Configuration ==

Following example configuration will mount the remote filesystem <code>/mydata</code> of the host <code>10.0.1.100</code> at the destination <code>/mnt</code>. Authentication is done via the user <code>myuser</code> and the private key <code>/root/.ssh/id_ed25519</code>.<syntaxhighlight lang="nix">

fileSystems."/mnt" = {

device = "myuser@10.0.1.100:/mydata";

fsType = "sshfs";

options = [

"nodev"

"noatime"

"allow_other"

"IdentityFile=/root/.ssh/id_ed25519"

];

};

</syntaxhighlight>{{Note|You will also need to enable SFTP on the server you are trying to connect to.}}

== See also ==

* [[Rclone]], which also supports mounting via SFTP. Possibly a more robust and stable implementation.
