Mount sshfs as root using sudo

maxmil · 01-04-2010, 03:48 AM

I would like to mount a sshfs using fstab.

My user does not have permissions to access the mount point on the remote machine but does have sudo privileges on the machine.

Using ssh i can connect to the mount point on the remote machine using

Code:

ssh myuser@remotemachine:/remote/mount/point -t sudo -i

However i haven't found the way to convert this to an sshfs mount.

Is this possible?

Thanks for your reply but following these instructions i will not be initiating a session with root privileges which is what i need.

With ssh you can include a command that executes as soon as the connection is established (sudo -i in my case).

What i'm looking for is a way to do this when mounting a sshfs.
