How to force IP version with sshfs?

Question

In ssh I can force the IP version with ssh -4 or ssh -6. Is it possible to do the same with sshfs (if yes, how)? When I try sshfs -6 it doesn't work and I see this error fuse: unknown option -6.

Answer 1

You can use -o to specify an option, and in particular this one to replace the default ssh command:

-o ssh_command=CMD
        execute CMD instead of 'ssh'

So, basically: sshfs -o ssh_command="ssh -6" ...
