esshfs

esshfs (Encrypted Secure Shell Filesytem)is an encrypted filesystem based on sshfs

Build

The build method is inherted from sshfs(using autotools).

autoreconf -if
./configure --prefix=$PREFIX
make && make install

and the executable binary should locate at $PREFIX/bin/esshfs

Usage

The usage is quite similar to sshfs

esshfs [user@]hostname:[directory] mountpoint

Other options can be learned from the manual of esshfs.

To unmount the filesystem

fusermount -u mountpoint

Other

The filesystem is transparent encrypted, so you can use it as usual in theory.

At the server side, you can see the file are all encrypted.

Warning: Some softwares such as gedit, eog... will fail, because the file size read from stat system call is inconsistent with the decrypted file size since I use the block cipher algorithm.
