I am trying to mount a connection to map a folder from a cluster (running Ubuntu 16.04) to my local machine (Mac Book Pro). Therefore I am typing the following:

sshfs username@host:/home/username/path_to_mount /Users/local_user/Desktop/existing_dir

I get the following error:

fuse: bad mount point '/Users/local_user/Desktop/existing_dir': No such file or directory

That sounds really weird to me because the directory exists, I am sure of that. Any clue on why this happens and what might be a possible solution?

Maybe is just a stupid question, but I am no getting to any point! Thanks for your help in advance!

Best,

Kim

After trying all the things which I found on the Internet regarding the issue I finally get to the point where I realized that I really missing a folder in the path to my mount point.

So to everyone struggling with this one: recheck!

Here's my experience with this error - what I believe to be the cause and how I was able to get around it.

I came across this error after initially calling sudo sshfs .. with an incorrect user name and ultimately having to ctrl-c to break since the login attempt kept failing (obviously). After some head scratching I checked ls -l \mnt\xxx and the attributes for xxx showed d?????. To fix the problem I unmounted the directory and the repeated the sshfs with the correct parameters and everything worked as expected.
