-This script builds sshfs-fuse, a SSH "client" that integrates with FUSE
-to allow you secure, encrypted file-system level access to files and
-directories on any server to which you have ssh access.
-
-Naturally, this script requires FUSE to be at all useful. You can
-pickup a SlackBuild script for fuse from here:

+SSHFS (Secure SHell FileSystem) is a file system for Linux capable of
+operating on files on a remote computer using just a secure shell login
+on the remote computer. On the local computer where the SSHFS is mounted,
+the implementation makes use of the FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace)
+kernel module.
+The practical effect of this is that the end user can seamlessly interact
+with remote files being securely served over SSH just as if they were
+local files on his/her computer. On the remote computer the SFTP subsystem
+of SSH is used.
