Automating sshfs not working

I want to mount a remote directory and I want to automate this. So I write below script which not working properly. #!/usr/bin/expect -f spawn sshfs vedams@192.168.5.109:/home/user /mnt/remote expect "assword:" send "myPassword\r" When I run the above script and if check ls /mnt/remote, it is giving below error: ls: cannot access /mnt/remote: Transport endpoint is not connected I used sshpass but not working: sshpass -p myPassword sshfs user@192.168.5.109:/home/user /mnt/remote Shell blocked and getting the same error. Note: If I run sshpass -p vedams123 sshfs vedams@192.168.5.109:/home/user /mnt/remote, working withour any problem.
