SSH FileSystem

Сам я приспособился использовать rsync для копирования файлов с хоста на хост. Но этот способ обещает быть в 100500 раз удобнее

This tutorial explains how you can mount a directory from a remote server on the local server securely using SSHFS. SSHFS (Secure SHell FileSystem) is a filesystem that serves files/directories securely over SSH, and local users can use them just as if the were local files/directories. On the local computer, the remote share is mounted via FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace).

sshfs -o idmap=user root@192.168.0.101:/home/backup /backup
… cp; mv; ...
fusermount -u /backup
