That still doesn't work. I get:
read: Connection reset by peer
It doesn't seem to be able to let me specify a path to the
~/.ssh/id_remote file and then prompt for a password like the -i option
of ssh. It does work okay with a host that uses the default id_r|dsa
filename, but I use a different key for different hosts and must
specify the correct key to ssh. Does sshfs support this?
Ideas?
