Description:
 This program is an easy to use front end for
sshfs.  The main limitation right now is that
there is no way to enter a password at runtime to
sshfs, so you should set up your ssh server and
client to do a password-less login with RSA keys
or some other sort of key exchange.  This
shouldn't be a big problem for most home users.  I
will work on a way to get password input soon. 
Any ideas on how to accomplish this easily are
more than welcome.

This program requires sshfs and all its
dependencies, as well as kommander.

sshfs allows a user to mount the filesystem of a
remote computer as a local file system so that all
local programs can access files on the remote
computer as if they were local.  This is a very
easy and secure way to do file sharing.

There is an sshfs how-to here:
http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/10/28/how-to-mount-a-remote-ssh-filesystem-using-sshfs/

(this how-to is aimed at k/ubuntu users, but
should be easily adaptable to users of other
flavors of linux, etc.)
