Re: "SSHFS - Mount remote filesystem over SSH"
nfs remounts itself when the connection is back very fast. sshfs i think won't remount. but hey, i like sshfs and sometimes use. let's say i use sshfs to sync photos from my "phones" or on some devices i don't want to have nfs+wireguard on.

last time I used NFS in production was probably 10ya so maybe implementation has changed. also it was on aix so probably different from whatever Linux rocks anyway. in any case sounds like your photo sync use case might be a candidate for rsync, no need to mount anything, but that's a choice, and you may have good reasons for mounting

SSHFS is fantastic. I use it to mount remote folders over my home VPN, super handy for development. The only annoying thing was that it regularly got stuck on MacOS, and I had to force unmount / remount quite often.
I ended up switching over to CloudMounter to achieve the same but with a GUI and a bit of more error handling than just running the SSHFS command. Still, in principle, I am sold.

SSHFS - Mount remote filesystem over SSH — I just discovered SSHFS. I haven't tried it yet but I think this would let me use my local development tools on my VPS since the files are 'local'. I know SCP exists but this seems more intuitive.
