sshfs mounts a remote folder to one on the local filesystem.

• sshfs server:/data/me ./local-folder -p 12345
• sshfs -o Ciphers=aes128-ctr -o Compression=no server:/data/me ./local-folder -p 12345 may be faster

When I tried it at the beginning it was horribly slow, the problem was the zsh prompt that had info about the current git repo. Disabling it or using bash solved the issue.
