AppleScript: received "remote host has disconnected" while mounting remote drive with SSHFS

[latindancer]

Hi,
First of all let me say that I have read a lot of articles online (including the ones already published in github.com) before deciding to post this article here.

My machine

• OS: Mac OS X 10.13.6
• FUSE for Mac: 3.8.3
• SSHFS: v2.5.0
• IP address: 192.168.1.10/24

Remote server

• Distributor ID: Ubuntu
• Description: Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS (server)
• Release: 16.04
• Codename: xenial
• IP address: 192.168.1.30/24

Issue

• From the above you can see that both computers are within the same LAN in the office
• When I use the OS X terminal command below to mount the root folder of my remote server into my machine, there's no problem at all:
  sshfs -o allow_other,defer_permissions root@192.168.1.30:/ /Volumes/DATA/remotesrv

but

• If I execute the AppleScript below:

-- Set remote user
set remoteUser to "root" as string

-- Set remote address (either IPv4 or URL)
set remoteAddress to "192.168.1.30" as string

-- Set local path of remote folder
set remotePath to "/" as string

-- Set path of local folder where to mount remote folder
set localMountPoint to "/Volumes/DATA/remotesrv" as string

-- Set full path of SSHFS application
set SSHFSApplicationPath to "/usr/local/bin/sshfs" as string

-- Set options
set sshfsOptions to "-o allow_other,defer_permissions"

-- Set command to execute
set myCommand to SSHFSApplicationPath & " " & sshfsOptions & " " & remoteUser & "@" & remoteAddress & ":" & remotePath & " " & localMountPoint

-- Set the password of the root user
set thePassword to "MYPASSWORD" as string

tell application "Finder"
	
	-- Mount remote folder via SSH
	do shell script myCommand password thePassword with administrator privileges
	
end tell

I received the following error message:

Note: I've also tried by simply creating a bin/bash script as well as an Automator script/app but still the same issue.

If I execute the command from the terminal everything is ok but if I try to make it automatic, no chance at all.

BTW I've also tried the AppleScript from this link (obviously customized for my environment) but curiously I get exactly the very same error message.

This is driving me crazy.

Can someone help me?

Thanks in advance.

Just leaving this comment in the hope to raise its visibility a bit.

Thanks.
