[Gllug] SSH filesystem?

[Jack Bertram]

I often need to copy files between remote systems over which I don't
trust NFS.  At the moment I use scp.

Is there a (virtual) filesystem which does the following:
* Allows me to "mount" a remote system on my local filesystem
* When I use the mount point for file operations, translates
  all calls using ssh/scp, prompting for passphrase as appropriate
  (or using ssh-agent)
* (Preferably) has configurable connection timeouts so that it doesn't
  maintain an ssh session for days on end when there are no operations
  on the mounted filesystem

cheers,
jack
