Ok, why have I picked up #sshfs⁰ only now despite vaguely knowing about it for decades? It's very cool and it's been helping me in a number of cases in these past few days already.

As an ordinary user:

$ sshfs example.com:/remote ~/local
[...work on the mounted files...]
$ umount ~/local

Of course the abstraction leaks when it comes to heavy I/O work and a slow connection, but it's kind of transparent otherwise.
