# SSHFS |  | In computing, **SSHFS** is a filesystem client to mount and interact with directories and files located on a remote server or workstation over a normal ssh connection. The client interacts with the remote file system via the SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP), a network protocol providing file access, file transfer, and file management functionality over any reliable data stream that was designed as an extension of the Secure Shell protocol (SSH) version 2.0. | |-|-| | | wikipedia:: [SSHFS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSHFS) |
