Actually there is something unmount. mount is a very flexible command  
under linux and can apply to a wide variety of things, some are  
hardware (like disks) but others are not. for instance it is perfectly  
possible to mount an ISO file as a file system. Similarly you can  
mount a remote file system using sshfs (which may well be what is used  
underneath here). Look up sshfs and fuse if you want more details.

Once you are connected to a remote share via sshfs, try running  
'mount' at the command line to list what is currently mounted.
