mount remote file system using sshfs and without root permission

Viewed 14873

I am using a admin'ed machine as a regular user and would like to mount some remote filesystem through sshfs. The machine doesn't have sshfs install. Is there a way that I can install it as a regular user and mount the remote filesystem?

You don't need to install sshfs, you can just use a binary version.

For this, download the .deb package e.g. from launchpad.net.

Then execute

ar x <PathToDebFile>

to unpack the .deb file and copy the sshfs-executeble from inside the resulting data.tar.gz archive to the computer.
