problem mounting remote folder with sshfs

I got ssh up and running flawlessly, but i have some problems with sshfs.
Following the arch linux wiki, i installed sshfs. Then it told me to add myself to the 'fuse' group, but gpasswd says that the group doesn't exist.
After that i've tried to connect and failed with the infamous 'read: connection reset by peer' error. Whole output is

but i bet that's irrelevant as i haven't joined the fuse group, do i have to create it myself or is there an error with the package?

Re: problem mounting remote folder with sshfs

Fuse is a kernel module that sshfs is based on. To see if the fuse module is running, do a

$ lsmod

and see if fuse is listed. To manually start the module, as root:

# modprobe fuse

To autostart fuse at bootup (Recommended) add fuse to the "MODULES" line of /etc/rc.conf file  as such

MODULES=(fuse)

It's not necessary nor recommended to create a fuse "group"

Re: problem mounting remote folder with sshfs

fuse is up and running as a module, but if you don't need to join the fuse group then what is the error?

I have no fuse group, sshfs works beautifully here.

I think your problem lies with

subsystem request failed on channel 0

I googled it but didn't find anything meaningful though.

Re: problem mounting remote folder with sshfs

I'm not on the fuse group either and I don't have the fuse module loaded and it still works just fine.

Check /etc/ssh/sshd_config on the remote machine and look at the end of the file you should have something like

# override default of no subsystems
Subsystem    sftp    /usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server

if you are using arch. If you are using other distros then it will probably be different, but make sure the path to sftp-server is correct.

You can also try what they say here http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=42818

Re: problem mounting remote folder with sshfs

Thanks rookie, that fixed it. Seems i had commented it myself for some reason.
