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 are root 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:

    # linux server
    if [ -x "$(command -v apt)" ]; then
      sudo apt -y install sshfs
    fi
    
    if [ -x "$(command -v yum)" ]; then
      #sudo yum --enablerepo=PowerTools -y install fuse-sshfs
      sudo yum -y install fuse-sshfs
    fi
    username=sshfs
    password='insertpwhere'
    useradd -m $username
    echo -e "$password\n$password" | passwd $username
    

    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.

    # windows client
    # download and install
    # WinFsp and SSHFS-Win
    # from https://github.com/billziss-gh/sshfs-win
    net use X: \\sshfs\[email protected]
    # to delete
    # net use X: /delete
    

    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.
