 using the sftp protocol.
 
+Mount options
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+'default_permissions'
+
+  By default FUSE doesn't check file access permissions, the
+  filesystem is free to implement it's access policy or leave it to
+  the underlying file access mechanism (e.g. in case of network
+  filesystems).  This option enables permission checking, restricting
+  access based on file mode.  This is option is usually useful
+  together with the 'allow_other' mount option.
+
+'allow_other'
+
+  This option overrides the security measure restricting file access
+  to the user mounting the filesystem.  This option is by default only
+  allowed to root, but this restriction can be removed with a
+  (userspace) configuration option.
+
+'kernel_cache'
+
+  This option disables flushing the cache of the file contents on
+  every open().  This should only be enabled on filesystems, where the
+  file data is never changed externally (not through the mounted FUSE
+  filesystem).  Thus it is not suitable for network filesystems and
+  other "intermediate" filesystems.
+
+  NOTE: if this option is not specified (and neither 'direct_io') data
+  is still cached after the open(), so a read() system call will not
+  always initiate a read operation.
+
+'direct_io'
+
+  This option disables the use of page cache (file content cache) in
+  the kernel for this filesystem.  This has several affects:
+
+     - Each read() or write() system call will initiate one or more
+       read or write operations, data will not be cached in the
+       kernel.
+
+     - The return value of the read() and write() system calls will
+       correspond to the return values of the read and write
+       operations.  This is useful for example if the file size is not
+       known in advance (before reading it).
+
+'max_read=N'
+
+  With this option the maximum size of read operations can be set.
+  The default is infinite.  Note that the size of read requests is
+  limited anyway to 32 pages (which is 128kbyte on i386).
