Comments on: SSHFS, Ubuntu, and You! http://elwoodicious.com/2006/07/05/sshfs-ubuntu-and-you/ Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities. —Voltaire Wed, 30 Nov 2011 11:58:23 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: james http://elwoodicious.com/2006/07/05/sshfs-ubuntu-and-you/comment-page-1/#comment-1159 james Thu, 06 Jul 2006 10:27:40 +0000 http://www.elwoods.org/home/2006/07/05/sshfs-ubuntu-and-you/#comment-1159 I didn't have much success but the fstab entry should read: sshfs#my-remote-user@my-remote-host:/home/my-remote-user /my-local-filesystem/remotefs fuse defaults 0 0 <a href="http://www.debuntu.org/2006/04/27/39-mounting-a-fuse-filesystem-from-etc-fstab/" rel="nofollow">This article</a> talks about needing mount.fuse in /sbin and sure enough it is MIA so that might be the problem. Hopefully it will get addressed. I ended up making a mount and unmount bash script to toggle it. Inelegant for sure but since I use a host file for my domain when behind the firewall I'd like to exert a little more control than fstab allows. You could do the same and add it to your start up events. Color me n00b. ;-) I didn't find any windows clients for it and my first thought was maybe Cygwin but that was <a href="http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-02/msg00910.html" rel="nofollow">quickly dashed</a>. I'm thinking that for Windows to Linux might be WebDAV or SFTP which can be mounted as drive letters in Windows. I didn’t have much success but the fstab entry should read:
sshfs#my-remote-user@my-remote-host:/home/my-remote-user /my-local-filesystem/remotefs fuse defaults 0 0

Haven't heard much about fuse, though i was using it the other day without knowing anything about it.). Also automounting that share? Does fstab understand sshfs?

On the Fuse front CopyFS, BlogFS, and Flickrfs all certainly look enticing. So many things to play with! Oooo, that libferris stuff looks cool, something I’ll definitely have to look into.

Amazingly useful. There are lots of other interesting modules for FUSE, but sshfs is the only one I've used with any regularity so far. It actually replaces higher-level schemes like Emacs TRAMP and KDE FISH. Only problem is I do a lot of work on FreeBSD 4 systems and FUSE is available for FreeBSD 6 but hasn't been backported to FreeBSD 4 (and probably never will). One of these days I also want to have a look at libferris which sounded very interesting from a magazine article that I read, but I haven't had a chance to try it yet.
