On the local computer where the SSHFS is mounted, +the implementation makes use of the FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) +kernel module. + +The practical effect of this is that the end user can seamlessly interact +with remote files being securely served over SSH just as if they were +local files on his/her computer. On the remote computer the SFTP subsystem +of SSH is used. |
