If you don’t want the trouble of configuring NFS or Samba, then sshfs is a good option. sshfs (ssh File System) makes use of Fuse (File System in Userspace) to allow you to locally mount a directory that you have remote access to using ssh. To install sshfs in Ubuntu use:

sudo apt-get install sshfs

Once this is done, you will need to add yourself to the new group (fuse) that has been created:

sudo adduser <user> fuse

Create a local directory in which to mount your remote directory and make sure it is owned by you:

mkdir [-p] /path/to/directory
chown <user>.<group> /path/to/directory

Now you can mount your remote directory as follows:

sshfs <user>@<remote_host>:/path/to/directory/ /path/to/directory
