Thank you for your suggestion. I've taken a look at SFS (http://www.fs.net/sfswww/), and I like its emphasis on user-friendliness and security. It's a toss-up between SFS and SSHFS (http://fuse.sourceforge.net/sshfs.html), since they allow non-root users to mount and they're secure. I tend to lean towards SSHFS since it only needs to be installed on the client (as opposed to SFS, which must be installed on client and server). The server side of SSHFS is the just sshd, which has been heavily tested and works out of the box on most modern systems. SFS also has some minor idiosyncrasies, like mounting everything under /sfs and including cryptographic hashes as part of directory names (both of which can be overcome with symlinks).
