# SHFS is a kernel module which implements the remote ssh mount functionality

# we are going to build the SHFS module from source, so
# ensure you have kernel-headers and module-assistant present, 
# if not apt-get them.

# apt-get the SHFS sources
sudo apt-get install shfs-source shfs-utils

#build sources and install the module using module-assistant
module-assistant build shfs
module-assistant install shfs

#make the binaries executable by normal users
sudo chmod +s /usr/bin/shfsmount
sudo chmod +s /usr/bin/shfsumount

#Now in order to mount a remote server's directory, you could

shfsmount user@servername:path localdirectory
