This would set a mount point that would persist through restarts of both your local machine and droplets. SSHFS also allows for setting up permanent mount points to remote file systems. Permanently Mounting the Remote File System When you no longer need the mount point you can simply unmount it with the command If the virtual server or local machine is powered off or restarted, you will need to use the same process to mount it again. It is important to note that this process provides only a temporary mount point to your droplet. Likewise you can copy files into the /mnt/droplet folder and they will be uploaded to your droplet in the background. For instance, if you move to the /mnt/droplet directory on your local machine you can create a file locally and the file will appear on your virtual server. Now you can work with files on your droplet as if it were a physical device attached to your local machine. Sudo sshfs -o IdentityFile=~/.ssh/id_rsa /mnt/droplet You will be asked to enter the passphrase you used during the creation of your keys with ssh-keygen. If your droplet is configured for login via ssh key authorization, you will need to tell sshfs to use your public keys with the following command. You will be asked for your virtual server's root password during this step. If your VPS was created with a password login the following command will do the trick. Now we can use sshfs to mount the file system locally with the following command. Sudo mkdir /mnt/droplet <-replace "droplet" whatever you prefer To start we will need to create a local directory in which to mount the droplet's file system.
