I may have messed things up....... I had a lot of docker config and data stored in /home/skynet I then ran a sshfs command and it disappeared. I was trying to send the contents of /home/skynet (server) to /home/shady/skynet (desktop). This was in order to be able to edit the files on the server on the desktop via VSCodium.

I'd love recommendations on how to do this, but first how do I get my files back???

Here is what I did

skynet@skynet:~/docker/keycloak$ sudo sshfs -o allow_other,default_permissions [email protected]:/home/shady/skynet /home/skynet
[email protected]'s password: 
skynet@skynet:~/docker/keycloak$ cd
skynet@skynet:~$ ks
-bash: ks: command not found
skynet@skynet:~$ ls
skynet@skynet:~$ ls -a
.  ..
skynet@skynet:~$ lsblk

skynet@skynet:~$ sudo umount -f /home/skynet
umount: /home/skynet: target is busy.

you most likely have a terminal open that is currently in that path.
