Mounting using sshfs : Connection reset by peer

Hello Everybody,

I'm trying to establish a mounted network share on my Arch workstation from an AIX box. I can SSH onto the AIX box from Arch with no problems and if I use the KDE network browsing wizard I can connect to the drive and browse the files. The problem with this is, whilst I can see and manage the files through the KDE file manager, I am unable to use the mapped directory in applications or on the command line as I do not know where it mounts to. To resolve this, I had a go at using the sshfs utility...

sshfs user@172.17.81.12:/g02/home/develop/ /mnt/net/home/

But this gives me the error...

read: Connection reset by peer

Ideally I am looking to mount the directory on the AIX box to /mnt/net/home - or the like on my Arch workstation. I am guessing that sshfs is the way to achieve this and that something in my configuration is wrong. Can anyone advise on what might be going wrong with this or another way of solving the problem.

Regards,

L.
