Step 1:
create a mount folder:
sudo mkdir /mnt/remote
Step 2:
mount remote folder:
sudo sshfs someuser@remote_machine:/home/someuser/somfolder /mnt/remote
Step 3:
get to work!
Step 4:
unmounting remote folder:
sudo umount /mnt/remote
or you can use the following, but I prefer the first one: sudo fusermount -u /mnt/remote
Note: if you want to enable access to ather users use the allow_other option:
sudo sshfs someuser@remote_machine:/home/someuser/somfolder /mnt/remote -o allow_other
