autofs and sshfs

I'm working with remote servers and copy files via scp commands, almost every day. From time to time, there is need to mount them via sshfs filesystem, but it can be frustrating to repeat the same operations every time.

As everything in the linux world, the mount process can be fully automatic. It is really simple: use autofs.

I don't want to clone the guides, the internet is full of them, just want to add my insights:
1. automatic mount process is done under root privileges, so you will need to create SSH public key for the root and not for the user.
2. automapping configuration doesn't support dots as a path.
