In my case, this is a large file 14GB and there's less than 20GB free space on the Digital Ocean droplet. I wanted to:

mysql database < database-data.sql

but didn't have enough storage on the droplet for both the 14GB sql file and the same data once it was imported.

So mounting via sshfs was the first viable solution I thought of. Seems to be working as I wanted it to. the sshfs package is really light and in the standard Debian repo.

#sshfs #debian #sysadmin
