SSHFS (SSH Filesystem) is a filesystem client for mounting remote directories on your machine, using an SSH connection.
By using it you can access, read, edit files from a remote machine on your local machine, as long as you have an account in the remote machine.

sudo apt install sshfs

Use homebrew. If homebrew is not installed run the installation command:
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
Once brew is installed, run:
brew cask install osxfuse
brew install sshfs
