Mounting /project on the Server via SSHFS

1. Read the following page to become familiar with the process (https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-sshfs-to-mount-remote-file-systems-over-ssh)
2. Download and install the required SSHFS components on your system:
   
   1. Mac - install both macFUSE and SSHFS, restart after installation (https://osxfuse.github.io)
   2. Windows - install both WinFSP and SSHFS-Win (https://github.com/winfsp/sshfs-win)
3. Create a mount point (i.e., directory) on your local machine (e.g., the lab iMac or your laptop)

4. Use the following command with your server credentials to mount the remote volume on luria:

   sshfs -o default_permissions,local,volname=project @10.18.8.13:/mnt/biblab_array/project
   <serverid>@10.18.8.13:/mnt/biblab_array/project <yourlocalmountpoint>

5. You can create an alias in your .bashrc file to avoid typing the above command each time you log into a lab machine, for example:
   
   1. alias brenda='sshfs -o default_permissions,local,volname=project <username>@10.18.8.13:/mnt/biblab_array/project /Users/<username>/project/'
   2. In the example above, you would only need to type “brenda” and the entire command will run
