sshocker: ssh + reverse sshfs + port forwarder, in Docker-like CLI

$ sshocker -p 8080:80 -v .:/mnt/sshfs user@example.com

Forward connections to the port 8080 on the client to the port 80 on example.com
Mount the current directory on the client as /mnt/sshfs on example.com

This is akin to docker run -p 8080:80 -v $(pwd):/mnt IMAGE, but sshocker is for remote hosts, not for containers.

Install

To download using curl:

curl -o sshocker --fail -L https://github.com/lima-vm/sshocker/releases/latest/download/sshocker-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)
chmod +x sshocker

To compile from source:

make
sudo make install

Tested on macOS client and Linux server. May not work on other environments, especially on Windows.

To use reverse sshfs, sshfs needs to be installed on the server (not on the client):

$ ssh user@example.com -- sudo apt-get install -y sshfs
