why do you recomend 'sshfs' over 'ssh'

They are entirely different things.
Look at sshfs as 'mount' (or NFS)
sshfs allows you to 'mount' a remote directory to a local path.
Look at SSH alone as 'telnet'.
It allows you to open a remote terminal.
They meet at the protocol level.
sshfs uses SSH as 'transport'
In other words.
THe speak the same dialect, but are talking about entirely different subjects.

Question number 2:
inside of the 192.168.x.y:
ssh myuser@192.168.x.y
outside of the 192.168.x.y (say for example NNN.nnn.x.y)
ssh myuser@NNN.nnn.x.y
If you were 'sshfs(ing)' then:
sshfs myuser@192.168.x.y:/remote/path /my/local/path
or outside
sshfs myuser@NNN.nnn.x.y:/remote/path /my/local/path
In other words:
The address is a matter for the routing protocol to resolve, if the address can be routed, and the SSH server is listening, it will answer.

thanks for the help. ssh is what I was looking for to descend it from my
home network. why do you recomend 'sshfs' over 'ssh'? now..... suppose I'm
trying to connect to it from a computer outside of the 192.168.x.y network.
what tool would I use then?
