Time ago I configured my remote machine following a common best practice where you shouldn't make the root access directly available via ssh.



When I have to administer my machine I connect to it via myuser account:



ssh myuser@remotehost


then I switch to the root account with



su root


And I can carry all my administrative commands with it.




Now I'm in the need to mount locally via sshfs some remote folders that are under root privileges.



With a direct sshfs user@remote_host:/mnt/remote_folder /mnt/local_folder I can't do it because I can only log in via myuser, so I should tell sshfs to login, su root and then enstablish the link.



It should be doable, but I don't know the correct syntax, could someone help me ?



(I would like to know the syntax for also all the times that I want to connect via ssh and switch user at same time)



I found this question that seems similiar but Centos and Ubuntu are covered while debian 9 probably have some minor changes to do:
