mount sshfs error: "read: Connection reset by peer"

[^rooker]

[PROBLEM]
When trying to mount a share over "sshfs", I get the following error message:

read: Connection reset by peer

I verified that I can properly connect to the server using ssh, and the configuration in /etc/fstab hasn't changed. So it "should" work.

[SOLUTION]
I tried to mount it as root.
A post in an Archlinux forum pointed me in the right direction:

"Don't use sshfs as root. It's a FUSE filesystem and meant to be user mounted."

That was it. Don't use sudo, don't be root:
Just use "mount /mnt/xxx" instead of "sudo mount /mnt/xxx"

Just ran into a related error message:

fusermount: user has no write access to mountpoint /mnt/xxx

The message pretty much includes the solution
