What's the best way to mount remote filesystems?
I'm using nfs but it seems really slow and when I mentioned it (here? somewhere else?) there was a quite negative response about nfs itself.
It's possible I'm just seeing the difference between my local (solid state) disk on a fast machine and the remote (spinny disk) filesystem on a slower remote machine (they're only about six inches apart on a 1Gb network connection, so it's not *very* remote). However, with "remote" website directories mounted locally they're much slower with my local webserver than with the one on that slower machine, so I'm inclined to suspect nfs... is that unfair?
(I know this isn't a particularly KDE related issue. Please don't make me rejoin the Fedora list, they're really mean!)
Both machines are running F37, both updated every week.

I use fuse ssh with the dolphin fish command to transfer files to and from my file server. It works great!

What do you mean by slow? Moved 3 files (5.9G)from one F37 system to another and it took just over 2m. Around 52Mbit per second.
An embarrassing admission. I was having slow access to my NFS server for a few months and was fighting with it. I even suspected that the drives were failing, as one has over 7 years of uptime on it according to SMART which is possible.
One day I must have moved the network cable just enough or something that the server ended up only connecting at 10M on a 1G switch. I missed that and only found out when I was checking something else out with the network. A simple unplug and replug in of the cable, and all works as expected now.
