Linux – Faster Way to Mount a Remote File System Than SSHFS

filesystemslinuxnfsremotesshfs

I have been using sshfs to work remotely, but it is really slow and annoying, particularly when I use eclipse on it.

Is there any faster way to mount the remote file system locally? My no.1 priority is speed.

Remote machine is Fedora 15, local machine is Ubuntu 10.10. I can also use Windows XP locally if necessary.

Best Answer

sshfs is using the SSH file transfer protocol, which means encryption.

If you just mount via NFS, it's of course faster, because not encrypted.

are you trying to mount volumes on the same network? then use NFS.
