Setup SSHFS with SFTP on Linux

Some Linux distributions natively integrate SFTP drive access in their file manager, so that one can connect SIF without installing anything. In the file manager you can Open Location or similar (Ctrl+L), insert sftp://sif-io.erda.dk in the address field and enter your username and chosen password when prompted for login.

SSHFS Drive Linux/UN*X

On Linux/UN*X it is also generally possible to install and use the low-level sshfs program to mount SIF as a network drive. Install SSHFS including the FUSE and OpenSSH dependencies using your preferred package manager or via downloading them online. Save something like the following lines in your local ~/.ssh/config:

Host sif-io.erda.dk sif
Hostname sif-io.erda.dk
VerifyHostKeyDNS yes
User <sif_mail>@<project>
Port 22
# Uncomment next line to use your private key in ~/.ssh/id_rsa
# IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa

replacing <sif_mail> with your SIF-associated mail and <project> with the project name. You can find this information in the Setup tab on SFTP under “SSHFS/SFTP Network Drive” fold-out menu. Afterwards, you can mount with the SSHFS command to access your SIF home:

mkdir -p sif-home && \
    sshfs sif-io.erda.dk: sif-home -o idmap=user -o reconnect
