Auto-mount SFTP share in fstab

Question

I have a SFTP share on my server wich use standard authentication. On my client, I have edited the /etc/fstab file and added :

user1@192.168.1.50:/ /mnt/share fuse.sshfs port=22,defaults,_netdev   0   0

I mount the share with the command : mount /mnt/share, and I indicates the password.

My question : I have noticed that the share is not mounted permanently. Then, is it possible to mount this share automatically without having to fill in the password each time ?

Thanks you

Try to use RSA keys instead of passwords

Generate RSA keys on the server

Copy to client

use the rsa key instead of a password

Ok, but did I'd have to add the passphrase before each mount ? – Kamiz Apr 27 '16 at 10:06

When you create a private/public key pair you have option do not enter a passphrase. – stambata Apr 27 '16 at 11:26
