Mounting Remote Directory via sshfs

sshfs (SSH File System) is a powerful tool that allows you to mount and interact with remote directories over an SSH connection as if they were part of your local file system. It leverages the security and encryption of SSH, making it an ideal choice for securely accessing and managing files on remote servers without the need for complex configurations.

host$ sudo apt update
host$ sudo apt install sshfs

host$ sshfs debian@192.168.7.2:. bone_dir
host$ ls bone_dir

Now, everything is okay.
