I’ve moved from Ubuntu to Debian on a machine and all my sshfs mounting scripts fail with
fuse: failed to open /dev/fuse: Permission denied
now. Am I missing something simple?
For some reason, Debian configures FUSE to require users to be in the fuse group.
Run gpasswd -a username fuse as root, then log out and log in again. (Important step.)
sudo apt-get install sshfs libfuse-dev
