If you have sshd installed on the remote system just do the following from your client terminal: sudo apt-get install sshfs mkdir /home/localuserid/some/mountpoint sshfs <remoteuserid>@<your_remote_IPaddy>:/some/directory /home/localuserid/some/mountpoint simple as that.. with one caveat; you have to have a rule forwarding port 22 to your destination machine if that machine is on a home network and has an IP that starts with 10 or 192. Refer to your router documentation on how to set up port forwarding on your router, or you can just hack around the interface until you find it, usually pretty straightforward once you see it. Currently I can watch all of my movies from pretty much anywhere I have my laptop and a decent pipe. Pretty cool actually.

Mount can't do that for ftp or ssh. Either install a FUSE based file system like curlftpfs or use the GVFS command line utilities, e.g. gvfs-mount <a href="ftp://ftp.example.com" target="_blank">ftp://ftp.example.com</a> That does exactly the same as mounting that server from the GUI. It gets mounted somewhere under ~/.gvfs/ Florian -- Any sufficiently advanced bug is indistinguishable from a feature. -- Rich Kulawiec <div><div></div><div class="h5"> -- ubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users</a> </div></div></blockquote></div>
