[Solved] sshfs - read: Connection reset by peer

I've used this command to try testing a remote file sharing system, just locally.

[dalesalter@Archy ~]$ sudo sshfs dalesalter@192.168.1.101:~/Desktop/Test/ ~/Desktop/Test1/ -C -p 99

which results in...
read: Connection reset by peer

I've read the trouble shooting page here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sshfs
Although none of it seems to resolve anything

Thanks in advance and feel free to ask any questions, as what I did was probably a stupid mistake.

A few things, though I'm not sure they're the cause of the problem...

- Don't use sshfs as root. It's a FUSE filesystem and meant to be user mounted.
- Don't specify a full path as the remote FS. It's SSH, so by default, the $PWD on the remote side is the login user's $HOME. You can merely specify 192.168.1.101:Desktop/Test

Rule of thumb: if ssh works, sshfs will work. The easiest way is to make sure that ~/.ssh/config has an entry for the remote host with the user, port, etc provided.

I figure out that I needed to use the ssh port, oh wow stupid me.
