Why Bother Doing This?
you’re free to circumvent both of these using macFUSE and SSHFS.
For example, I run my personal website off of an AWS EC2 instance of Ubuntu Server.
By nature, Ubuntu Server runs headless (without a graphic interface).
To install macFUSE, first visit themacFUSE GitHub repository.
After installation, you may need to enable system extensions in System controls> Security & Privacy.
macFUSE is essential for enabling the other prerequisite for configuration, SSHFS.
SSHFS
SSHFS stands for Secure SHell FileSystem.
It is aptly named for its ability to allow users to mount remote filesystems over SSH.

To install SSHFS, first make sureyou have Homebrew installed on your Mac.
Just replace the variables in the first section with those applicable to your remote volume.
Once you’ve edited the script to fit your personal use case, save it as “mount_remote.sh”.
After running this script, your remote volume will appear in Finder sporting whatever icon image you specified!
