This is a filesystem client based on the SSH File Transfer Protocol.
Since most SSH servers already support this protocol it is very easy to set up: i.e. on the server side there's nothing to do. On the client side mounting the filesystem is as easy as logging into the server with ssh - fuse.sourceforge.net 
The idea of sshfs was taken from the SSHFS filesystem distributed with LUFS, which I found very useful. There were some limitations of that codebase, so I rewrote it. Features of this implementation are:
- Based on FUSE
- Multithreading
- Allowing large reads (max 64k)
- Caching directory contents
