-------------------------+---------------------------
 For performance reasons, it might be preferable to use unencrypted (and
 unauthenticated) sshfs, e.g. when running over localhost or a trusted
 local network.

 For this, `sshfs` supports a `directport=…` option which skips the 'ssh'
 part and directly uses sftp protocol (for reference, the server-part of
 this can be started using `socat TCP4-LISTEN:12345,bind=192.168.0.1
 EXEC:/usr/lib/sftp-server,nofork`)

 (not sure whether this is a duplicate; I could not find anything relevant)
