#Abstract

If you want to use a remote server to store your personal data safely on a tomb Sshfs can help you. Infact an ssh server is one of the most common stuff present in a server and Sshfs permit you to mount easily the remote FileSystem on your pc via ssh.

##HOWTO

Just copy your tomb on the remote server via scp:

scp /path/to/yourthings.tomb user@remote.host:/

Install Sshfs on your system, for example if you use debian do:

sudo apt-get install sshfs

Now you are ready to mount locally the remote file system:

sshfs -o allow_root user@remote.host:/ /local/mountpoint/

It's important to add the "-o allow_root" option because if you don't tomb will not have permissions to read in the remote FileSystem.

Last but not least open your tomb:

tomb open /local/mountpoint/yourthings.tomb /path/to/key

That's all folks!
