Mount a folder remotely

I like sshfs the secure shell filesystem. But sometimes I forget how the unmounting command is, so I write this short note to myself.

The mounting part is intuitive:

sshfs HOST:PATH mountpoint

It mounts the given path from the given host to the given mountpoint. The cool thing is, it needs not to be a partition, but can be any path.

On the other hand, to unmount one needs to remember the fuser and the -u option in

fusermount -u mountpoint

fusermount is the filesystem in userspace (FUSE) mounting command and since sshfs is a FUSE filesystem one needs to use its commands and therefore the -u for unmounting.
