Facts about mounting remote file system
Say, we are going to mount a remote file system on our server. I am not too sure about how will data be transferred back to original host when it is written to the mounted FS. Could you please share an article or your knowledge on this?

Thanks in advance;
Stephen W.

What do you mean by "how will data be transferred back to original host" ? You mount the remote file system, assuming that you're talking about NFS, and the the client reads/writes data directly onto the remote host.

Sorry that I didn't do a good research. For now, we are planning to use sshfs. And I have other questions on this in other threads. Thanks for your reply.
