+ ShFS is a simple and easy to use Linux kernel module which
+ allows you to mount remote filesystems using a plain shell
+ (SSH) connection. When using ShFS, you can access all remote
+ files just like the local ones, only the access is governed
+ through the transport security of SSH.
+
+ ShFS supports some nice features:
+
+ * file cache for access speedup
+ * perl and shell code for the remote (server) side
+ * could preserve uid/gid (root connection)
+ * number of remote host platforms (Linux, Solaris, Cygwin, ...)
+ * Linux kernel 2.4.10+ and 2.6
+ * arbitrary command used for connection (instead of SSH)
+ * persistent connection (reconnect after SSH dies)
