Release 3.7.5 (2025-11-11)

  • New maintainers added
  • Main documentation updates to using Markdown
  • Updated Windows and macOS support
  • Added IPv6 support in -o directport
  • Added -o vsock option
  • Minor bugfixes

Release 3.7.3 (2022-05-26)

  • Minor bugfixes.

  • This is the last release from the current maintainer. SSHFS is now no longer maintained or developed. Github issue tracking and pull requests have therefore been disabled. The mailing list (see below) is still available for use.

    If you would like to take over this project, you are welcome to do so. Please fork it and develop the fork for a while. Once there has been 6 months of reasonable activity, please contact [email protected] and I'll be happy to give you ownership of this repository or replace with a pointer to the fork.

Release 3.7.2 (2021-06-08)

Release 3.7.1 (2020-11-09)

  • Minor bugfixes.

Release 3.7.0 (2020-01-03)

  • New max_conns option enables the use of multiple connections to improve responsiveness during large file transfers. Thanks to Timo Savola for doing most of the implementation work, and thanks to CEA.fr for sponsoring remaining bugfixes and cleanups!

  • The buflimit workaround is now disabled by default. The corresponding bug in OpenSSH has been fixed in 2007 (cf. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=365541#37), so this shouldn't be needed anymore. If you depend on this workaround, please let the SSHFS maintainers know, otherwise support for the workaround will be removed completely in a future version.

Release 3.6.0 (2019-11-03)

  • Added "-o direct_io" option. This option disables the use of page cache in kernel. This is useful for example if the file size is not known before reading it. For example if you mount /proc dir from a remote host without the direct_io option, the read always will return zero bytes instead of actual data.
  • Added --verbose option.
  • Fixed a number of compiler warnings.
  • Improved performance under OS X.

Release 3.5.2 (2019-04-13)

  • Fixed "-o idmap=user" to map both UID and GID on all OSs.
  • Fixed improper handling of sequential spaces spaces in "ssh_command" option

Release 3.5.1 (2018-12-22)

  • Documentation updates
  • Build system updates
  • Added "BindInterface" as valid "-o" option.

Release 3.5.0 (2018-08-28)

  • Fixed error code returned by rename(), allowing proper fallback.
  • Port to Cygwin.

Release 3.4.0 (2018-06-29)

  • Make utimens(NULL) result in timestamp "now" -- no more touched files dated 1970-01-01
  • New createmode workaround.
  • Fix fstat workaround regression.

Release 3.3.2 (2018-04-29)

  • New renamexdev workaround.

Release 3.3.1 (2017-10-25)

  • Manpage is now installed in correct directory.
  • SSHFS now supports (or rather: ignores) some options that it may receive as result of being mounted from /etc/mtab. This includes things like user, netdev, or auto.

SSHFS 3.3.0 (2017-09-20)

  • Dropped support for writeback caching (and, as a consequence, "unreliable append" operation). As of kernel 4.14, the FUSE module's writeback implementation is not compatible with network filesystems and there are no imminent plans to change that.
  • Add support for mounting from /etc/fstab
  • Dropped support for building with autotools.
  • Added missing options to man page.

Release 3.2.0 (2017-08-06)

  • Re-enabled writeback cache.
  • SSHFS now supports O_APPEND.

Release 3.1.0 (2017-08-04)

  • Temporarily disabled the writeback cache feature, since there have been reports of dataloss when appending to files when writeback caching is enabled.

  • Fixed a crash due to a race condition when listing directory contents.

  • For improved backwards compatibility, SSHFS now also silently accepts the old -o cache_* options.

Release 3.0.0 (2017-07-08)

  • sshfs now requires libfuse 3.1.0 or newer.
  • When supported by the kernel, sshfs now uses writeback caching.
  • The cache option has been renamed to dir_cache for clarity.
  • Added unit tests
  • --debug now behaves like -o debug_sshfs, i.e. it enables sshfs debugging messages rather than libfuse debugging messages.
  • Documented limited hardlink support.
  • Added support for building with Meson.
  • Added support for more SSH options.
  • Dropped support for the nodelay workaround - the last OpenSSH version for which this was useful was released in 2006.
  • Dropped support for the nodelaysrv workaround. The same effect (enabling NODELAY on the server side and enabling X11 forwarding) can be achieved by explicitly passing -o ForwardX11
  • Removed support for -o workaround=all. Workarounds should always enabled explicitly and only when needed. There is no point in always enabling a potentially changing set of workarounds.

Release 2.9 (2017-04-17)

  • Improved support for Cygwin.
  • Various small bugfixes.

Release 2.8 (2016-06-22)

  • Added support for the "fsync" extension.
  • Fixed a build problem with bitbake

Release 2.7 (2016-03-01)

  • Integrated osxfuse's copy of sshfs, which means that sshfs now works on OS X out of the box.
  • Added -o cache_max_size=N option to let users tune the maximum size of the cache in number of entries.
  • Added -o cache_clean_interval=N and -o cache_min_clean_interval=N options to let users tune the cleaning behavior of the cache.

Release 2.6 (2015-01-28)

Release 2.5 (2014-01-14)

  • Some performance improvements for large directories.
  • New disable_hardlink option.
  • Various small bugfixes.

Release 2.4 (2012-03-08)

  • Small improvements and bug fixes
  • Check mount point and options before connecting to ssh server
  • New 'delay_connect' option

Release 2.2 (2008-10-20)

  • Handle numerical IPv6 addresses enclosed in square brackets
  • Handle commas in usernames

  • Support atomic renames if server is OpenSSH 4.9 or later

  • Support getting disk usage if server is OpenSSH 5.1 or later

  • Small enhancements and bug fixes

  • Bug fixes

What is new in 1.5

  • Improvements to read performance. Now both read and write throughput should be very close to 'scp'

What is new in 1.4

  • Updated to version 25 of libfuse API

  • This means that the 'cp' of readonly file to sshfs bug is finally solved (as long as using libfuse 2.5.0 or later and Linux 2.6.15 or later)
