sshfs is no long linux specific. It has been ported to Mac OSX and FreeBSD.

All this gnome-vfs should be removed and replaced with FUSE IMO

I recently started using sshfs with fuse to overcome this problem. With a bit of tweaking, it’s superb. Totally stable. I now have total access to several boxes via nautilus or any local program. Brilliant stuff!

If you do decide to try it out, make sure you get the most recent version from the site, the most current version from the fedora repo was too buggy to use. Other than that, very good. Make sure you avoid shfs though (note only one s) as I’ve found this to be very unstable (crashes a lot on unmounting).

Sigh.. Blog spam is just… I just want to say, if this was done by a real person and not an automated script: Get a real job. It’s much more rewarding than writing irrelevant comments on regular folks’ personal websites. Idiots.

Yeah, you discovered exactly what I am talking about..

I am working from our aviation club room now, and well.. guess if I forgot to unmount the NFS shares again.. Sigh.. With windows the reboots would be so frequent anyway, that I wouldnt notice, but blah..

On the upside, I got gnome-vfs to work with the Gimp, so I can save and load remotely from my fileserver at home

Tuomas,

Ironically, Comcast had a small outage tonight and I temporarily lost Internet for a short while. I had several sshfs filesystems mounted (and was in fact accessing one of them when this occurred. The whole system pretty much came to a standstill, much as if I had really lost a disk (I’ve seen similar effects when an IDE drive failed on me).

I didn’t get a chance to see what would have happened had I waited because I ended up rebooting.

I’m wondering how difficult it would have been for FUSE/sshfs to have broken out of this and returned an error rather than just hanging waiting for I/O to complete.

Cliff: what happens if you change your ip and try to access the ssh filesystem?

I’m using FUSE and sshfs and they work great (but as others noted, Linux only). However, the problem is the reverse of gnome-vfs: all my apps *except* Nautilus work fine. Nautilus can see the files, but since it sees that they are not owned by the user who is browsing it (they have the UID and GID of the user on the remote host), it refuses to let the user change them. I was looking for a solution to this when I came across this blog entry.
