Ubuntu 6.06: sshfs and fuse: an attempt to mount a cygwin drive; howtogeek.com

An attempt was made to mount a cygwin drive with sshfs and fuse. It did NOT work. Following the article “How to Mount a Remote Folder using SSH on Ubuntu” here:

http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/
    how-to-mount-a-remote-folder-using-ssh-on-ubuntu/

these steps were taken:

sudo apt-get install sshfs

sudo modprobe fuse

sudo adduser &lt;username&gt; fuse

sudo chown root:fuse /dev/fuse

sudo chmod +x /dev/fuse

mkdir ~/remoteserv

At this step many sshfs commands were tried. None worked:

sshfs &lt;username&gt;@&lt;ipaddress&gt;:/remotepath ~/remoteserv

or sudo sshfs <username>@<ipaddress>:/remotepath ~/remoteserv or sshfs <username>@<ipaddress>:/cygdrive/c/remotepath ~/remoteserv -o allow_other -p 22

All of these attempts produced this error:

failed to access mountpoint /home/&lt;username&gt;/remoteserv: Permission denied
