I was trying to make a directory in my computer's home (under Debian Jessie) of my distant session at school. I don't want to use any password, I would like to do "cd work" and see my distant session.

So I checked the manual of sshfs which mounts an ssh session in a directory. Then I figured out that the symbolic links were not followed. So I used the option "-o follow_symlinks" and it worked fine.

In order to connect at work without password, I created an ssh key public and private (with ssh-keygen), then I sent it to the server (with ssh-copy-id). When I try to connect with ssh, the server isn't asking for password. But when I try to use this key with the sshfs, the server isn't asking for password but all the symbolic links are broken !!

The home's folders like boost_1_60_0 here are ok, but not the symbolic links... I just don't understand why. Does anybody have an answer for that ? :)

You might probably want to use -o transform_symlinks rather than -o follow_symlinks.
