Scripting SSHFS without SSH keys












0















I do something like:



sshfs user@aplace:/aforiengdir/ /home/yyyy/yyyy -p zzzzz -o allow_other -o user=1001



and it works fine. I am able to mount the directory over SSH with out hassle and the application I am using works. The trouble becomes when the connection is cut for some reason or the machine is rebooted for some reason, sshfs drops (understandably).



I would like to just put in cron job every minute that checks if the mount exists, if not run the command. I don't have any access to manage the remote server's ssh daemon and the remote provider refuses to implement ssh keys (all they would have to do is uncomment the line >=( ). I can't seem to find a way to get the password into the sshfs command.



Is there a smarter way to go about this or some way to script the password into the command when I write a cron job?

  • There is a tool called sshpass which allows you to script the "interactive" password input. This requires you to store the password in plain text somewhere though, which is not exactly a good practice.
