Debian/Ubuntu-based distros sudo apt-get install sshfsДҐ.

Arch-based distros sudo pacman -S sshfs.

This is straightforward as itвЂ™s shipped by all major linux distros. If you want to do a quick check to see if you can access the remote machine you can ping remote-machine-ip.Д¤. Now youвЂ™ll need the IP address of the remote machine. To check if remote login is enabled/disabled use sudo systemsetup -getremoteloginДЈ. To turn it off from the command line use sudo systemsetup -setremotelogin off. You can also do it from the command line with sudo systemsetup -setremotelogin on. To start SSH on macOS go to System Preferences > Sharing > Remote Login. If you want to enable the service so itвЂ™s always running you can do that with sudo systemctl enable sshd.Дў.1 In my case IвЂ™m trying to mount a macOS filesystem. To make sure that the SSH server is running on your remote machine, assuming youвЂ™re running systemd, you need to run sudo systemctl start sshd.

Debian/Ubuntu-based distro sudo apt-get install openssh-client openssh-serverДў.

You could use an USB stick or external HDD/SSD, but if you run different OSвЂ™ with different filesystems that can quickly become an unnecessary headache.

You could use a cloud file hosting servive and sync everything across your computers, but depending on your needs that can get expensive. Maybe you need to work on remote projects, maybe you have multiple computers running different OSвЂ™ and you find yourself always going back and forth between them or maybe you just need to access a server.
