  • As I mentioned in the issue, I tried with and without sudo and the result is the same (as far as file permissions and user/group id appearing in ls and the write permission problem) :( Commented Aug 14, 2015 at 5:41
  • Can you post the exact commands you are running without sudo and what the output is? Also, are permissions appropriate in /mnt? Without sudo, you would usually want to mount stuff in your home directory rather than a root-owned /mnt directory you probably don't have permissions on. Commented Aug 14, 2015 at 5:51
  • Thanks for the response. I mount to a dir in /mnt but I have the permissions to write on it. I added the set of commands for mounting with sshfs to a dir under my home. Commented Aug 17, 2015 at 13:02
  • I encounter the same problem. I try to mount a folder inside /home but the permission doesn't allow me to write data inside the mount point. I already changed the permission of the mount point but it does not work. You say that I must mount inside my own directory. Is this a must? askubuntu.com/q/811057/170070 Commented Aug 11, 2016 at 18:28
  • This is only true if you use server.com: , ie, mounting the home folder of the ssh user you are using to log in. Commented Dec 2, 2022 at 18:39
