A nice friendly script for mounting a remote linux directory on demand.

mount_remote

#!/bin/bash

VOLUME_NAME="LinuxServer"
REMOTE_USER=`whoami`
REMOTE_SERVER="xx.xx.xx.xx"
MOUNT_DIR="$HOME/$VOLUME_NAME"
REMOTE_DIR="/home/$REMOTE_USER"
SSH_KEY="$HOME/.ssh/id_rsa"
TIMEOUT=5

RESULT=`sshfs -o reconnect \
      -o volname=${VOLUME_NAME},noappledouble,noapplexattr,compression=yes,cache=yes \
      -o ConnectTimeout=$TIMEOUT \
      -o IdentityFile="$SSH_KEY" \
      "${REMOTE_USER}@${REMOTE_SERVER}:${REMOTE_DIR}" \
      "$MOUNT_DIR" 2>&1`

if [[ $RESULT != "" ]]; then
  if [[ $RESULT == "mount_osxfusefs: mount point /Users/andy/LinuxServer is itself on a OSXFUSE volume" ]]; then
    echo "$VOLUME_NAME is already mounted at $MOUNT_DIR!"
    exit 1
