I'll summarize his guide here, so this answer will still be worth something if his site ever goes offline:</p> <p>Create an <code>/etc/auto.master</code>:</p> <pre><code>/mnt/sshfs /etc/auto.sshfs uid=1000,gid=1000,--timeout=30,--ghost </code></pre> <p>Make sure your <code>uid</code> and <code>gid</code> match your userid and guid in <code>/etc/passwd</code> or whatever you use to provide system accounts.</p> <p>Now add lines into <code>/etc/auto.sshfs</code>, one per desired filesystem, in the following form:</p> <pre><code>bar -fstype=fuse,rw,nodev,nonempty,noatime,allow_other,max_read=65536 :sshfs\#tjansson@bar.com\: </code></pre> <p>Be sure to change <code>tjansson@bar.com</code> to whatever user account and hostname you're going to be using. Change the leading <code>bar</code> to whatever you'd like the directory to be named. When you <code>cd /mnt/sshfs/bar</code>, <code>autofs</code> will automatically mount the FUSE filesystem for you. Of course, using SSH keys and the <code>ssh-agent(1)</code> will make this far more pleasant.</p> <p><strong>Update</strong></p> <blockquote> <p>... create a directory that literally logs you into the other machine.</p> </blockquote> <p>Hey, that's pretty clever idea. You could either write a <a href="http://www.talug.org/events/20030813/cmdline_tips_n_tricks_aug03.html" rel="nofollow">shell function</a> that checks the directory name you want to <code>cd</code> into and start a new <code>ssh</code> for you. Maybe you can (ab)use the <a href="http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prompt-HOWTO/x264.html" rel="nofollow"><code>PROMPT_COMMAND</code></a> variable to <code>ssh</code> to the host if the directory name matches. Be warned that either approach <em>will</em> slow down your normal <code>cd</code> <em>or</em> every prompt display.</p> <p>Another approach that I've used and enjoyed is a small little helper script, <code>~/bin/ssh-to</code>:</p> <pre><code>#!/bin/bash hostname=`basename $0` ssh $hostname $* </code></pre> <p>Symlink new names to this shell script: <code>ln -s ssh-to sarnold.org</code> and then you can run a command or log in on a remote site without typing the <code>ssh</code> all the time:</p> <pre><code>sarnold.org python foo.py </code></pre> <p>It'll log you in to whatever machine you've used for the name of the symbolic link and run whatever command you give it.</p>
