SSHFS modprobe fuse not working on my VPS

[babadoctor]

I want to SSHFS into my computer at home from my VPS server running ubuntu and mount the hard drive onto it.

 

I ran sshfs and it gave me the error:

fuse: device not found, try 'modprobe fuse' first
 

so i run modprobe fuse

 

modprobe: FATAL: Module fuse not found in directory /lib/modules/4.15.0
 

 

what's going on here?

 

i have been looking around for ages trying to figure out if it was the kernel or because im running this in an OpenVZ container...

 

Any ideas?

can you install fuse?

 

my guess is that if your using a comtainer you cant chane modules, so you cant use fuse. Get a vps thts its own vm.

it says fuse is already installed

is the kernel module loaded? 

 

Im still guessing you need a vm not a container

You mean fuse? fuse isn't loaded, and I don't know how to load it

modprobe fuse should load it, but you cant do that in a container, you need a vm not a continer
