Access to the remote machine via terminal

Question

How can I read the files and folders of a remote machine which I can ping?

PING 172.17.0.4 (172.17.0.4) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 172.17.0.4: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.114 ms

If you have an account there, `ssh your-username@172.17.0.4`. — mjk, Jan 30 '16 at 00:01

Do you want to login the remote machine? Is so, do ssh

ssh username@remotemachinename/ip

@VPaskar SSH is the first step, look up sftp, that's one way of doing it – Keith M Feb 01 '16 at 06:04

One way to mount a remote server locally is to set up NFS (the Network File System).

NFS mounts work to share a directory between several servers. This has the advantage of saving disk space, as the home directory is only kept on one server, and others can connect to it over the network. When setting up mounts, NFS is most effective for permanent fixtures that should always be accessible.

You'll need to actually have administrator access on the master box to set it up.
