We will be testing this feature over local network '''192.168.0.0/24'''. For you, if you want to test it over '''WAN''', your SSH Server machine needs to be accessible via '''Public IP or Hostname''' over the WAN network.

1.     Get the Ubuntu Linux OS Desktop image from [https://ubuntu.com/download here]

1.     Get the Ubuntu Linux OS Desktop image from [https://ubuntu.com/download here]

2.     Install the image in the virtual box application. Make sure to Ubuntu machine is perfectly running and put the machine in the same network as that of the router. For this, go to network settings option of the virtual machine and select Bridged Adapter and select the same adapter to which your Teltonika router is connected.

3.     To verify your VM network, go to Settings-> Network option on the Ubuntu VM.

Here you can see that over machine is in network of 192.168.0.0/24, which is same as the LAN network of the router. If VM doesn’t show router network range IP, try to turn OFF the adapter on the same settings option as above picture and then turn it ON again.

Once Ubuntu machine is configured as above. Now, router will be configured to use SSHFS service. Make sure that router has internet connectivity because user need to download the SSHFS package over the internet. If the SSHFS package is already installed in the router, then there is no need for internet connectivity unless you are testing your setup over WAN network.

After the configuration part is completed, now it’s the time to test the setup and see if it is working as intended or not. You can test it on your router to see if the filesystem has successfully mounted or not.

Here you can read, write, and modify the files over SSH. Every time, when user makes any changes in the filesystem through router, they will automatically get reflected on the Ubuntu machine.

# Go to router’s CLI and change directory to /mnt and list the contents of the directory. You will see that Ubuntu machine’s directory /home/ramman contents can be found there.[[File:TestingSSHFS.png|center|thumb|735x735px]]Here you can read, write, and modify the files over SSH.
