sshfs

I have some options in my ~/.ssh/config:

Host * Ciphers arcfour,blowfish-cbc

These options are intended to speed up transfers. Will sshfs use these options when I do a mount?

Is sshfs secure?

Sshfs stands for Secure Shell File System and works as a filesystem for Linux, capable of operating on files and directories on a remote computer, using secure shell. It's secure, reliable, and actually pretty easy to use.

Can you access sshfs mounted files as root?

You can use bindfs + sshfs to access other user files (even root). Firstly you mount your 'root' or any other directory under your user with remapped uid. and then simply sshfs into the directory.

Yes, sshfs simply calls plain old ssh which is also why you can use your per-host configuration from .ssh/config. Using -F you can specify a different ssh_config if that's what you need.
