Next step is to mount the fuse module[localuser: tanviralam remoteuser: alamt]

1. modprobe fuse

2. Next create the mount point

mkdir /home/tanviralam/remote

chown [local-user]:[your-group] /mnt/remote-fs/

chown tanvialam:777 /home/tanviralam/remote

3. Add yourself to the fuse group

adduser [local-user] fuse

adduser tanviralam fuse

4. Untill here all the command should be issued as root, now switch to your users and mount the remote filesystem.

sshfs remote-user@remote.server:/remote/directory /home/tanviralam/remote/
