Ubuntu SSHFS doesn’t sync

scpsshsshfsUbuntuubuntu-12.10

I am trying to set up a Ubuntu-machine for web development, and thought i'd start working with SSHFS instead of the annoying FTP-protocol. I installed SSHFS through apt-get. I've created a folder in my documents folder called MyProject. I'm the owner of that folder.

I mount the remote folder to my local folder using

sshfs root@myproject.com:ftp.myproject.com/myproject.com/public_html /home/anton/Documents/MyProject

Followed by my password.
Then the remote folder is indeed mounted. However, the changes i make on my local computer is not reflected on the server. What am i missing here?

Ubuntu 12.10

Add -o cache=no to the command

sshfs root@myproject.com:ftp.myproject.com/myproject.com/public_html /home/anton/Documents/MyProject -o cache=no

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

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.

Linux – How to Mount Local Directory to Remote Like SSHFS

from: http://mysteriousswede.blogspot.com/2012/01/mount-local-directory-to-server-on.html

How to do it? You set up ssh forwarding by using port 10000 on the machine you log in on to port 22 on your local machine and use sshfs to mount in on the other side.

F.ex. to mount /home/username/mywwwdevelstuff on your local machine to /var/www on the server side:

localusername@localmachine: ssh username@server -R 10000:localmachine:22
username@server: cd /var
username@server: sshfs -p 10000 -o idmap=user,nonempty \
                 localusername@127.0.0.1:~/mywwwdevelstuff www
