Your alternate method of running truecrypt locally seems to be the very best approach. It doesn't make sense that it would be slow unless the server is able to run truecrypt very quickly and the local machine is very slow or resource-limited.
Since the data is already encrypted, maybe you could serve it with NFS instead of SSH.
Are both machines running Linux?
BTW, Fedora Linux renames truecrypt to realcrypt.

Hi, all..
Does Solaris 8 support sshfs? (Sorry if my question is too simple :o)
We are going to mount a file system from Solaris 8 on HP-UX 11i. Will things will go smoothly with this? Will there be any performance problem if the number of users grow to perform I/O operations on mounted fs?

ssh-copy-id
SSH-COPY-ID(1) General Commands Manual SSH-COPY-ID(1)
NAME
ssh-copy-id - install your public key in a remote machine's authorized_keys
SYNOPSIS
ssh-copy-id [-i [identity_file]] [user@]machine
DESCRIPTION
ssh-copy-id is a script that uses ssh to log into a remote machine and append the indicated identity file to that machine's ~/.ssh/autho-
rized_keys file.
If the -i option is given then the identity file (defaults to ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub) is used, regardless of whether there are any keys in your
ssh-agent. Otherwise, if this:
ssh-add -L
provides any output, it uses that in preference to the identity file.
If the -i option is used, or the ssh-add produced no output, then it uses the contents of the identity file. Once it has one or more fin-
gerprints (by whatever means) it uses ssh to append them to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the remote machine (creating the file, and directory,
if necessary.)
NOTES
This program does not modify the permissions of any pre-existing files or directories. Therefore, if the remote sshd has StrictModes set in
its configuration, then the user's home, ~/.ssh folder, and ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file may need to have group writability disabled manu-
ally, e.g. via
chmod go-w ~ ~/.ssh ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
on the remote machine.
