SSHFS Problem when mounting
I want to enable my Windows Server to be able to access my Ubuntu Server's Drive. I've done the following below on my Ubuntu Server:
root@ubuntu:/mnt# sudo sshfs -o allow_other,default_permissions [email protected]:/mnt/storage /mnt/storage [email protected]'s password:
However, I just get stuck on the password part even though I have pressed enter, it's just stuck there. Any ideas? I did it once before and now it no longer works for some odd reason.

This command is wrong I guess. Try only the following one:
sudo sshfs -o allow_other,default_permissions [email protected]:/mnt/storage /mnt/storage
Try keys instead of passwords?
Why bother using
sudo
if you areroot
user.It's the same command?
The last part of your command, which was wrong, has been removed.
On the Linux VPS
Change password. Also username if desired.
Copy paste code after changing password:
On Windows
Download and install the 2 programs
Change the username and password to the account you setup above
Possibly change drive letter from X to whatever
Execute net use command from power shell or i think you can type it in explorer location bar.
In another thread rclone was mentioned as a better option, it seems to support more protocols. https://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/3184271
I cant remember having to execute this command. All I remember is installing it and it was able to mount. I could be wrong would have to check.
Unless youre trying to mount the entire disk, while I was just trying to mount the user home directory which is a bit different.
