Topic: SSH and Thunar

If you use Thunar , you know you can't connect to a ssh directory .

I find a solution on

http://www.commandlinefu.com/

Install sshfs :

sudo apt-get install sshfs

      Use :

Mount

 sshfs name@server:/path/to/folder /path/to/mount/point

And go to the mount point with thunar for copy/delete/past files on your other PC .


Umount :

 fusermount -u  /path/to/mount/point

Source : http://fuse.sourceforge.net/sshfs.html

Re: SSH and Thunar

Your english is fine, and your implementation is superb.

I've just apt-got sshfs, and I plan on using it frequently.

Now to find a windows implementation for those times I'm stuck using Microsoft: BSOD.

Hello The_Doctor smile

Thank you for providing this tip. I use sshfs everyday and I swear by it; however, I never thought to post about it, doh! Thank you again and welcome to the forums.

Philip:

how big is it? (I never really looked when installing...) if it's not too bad, I'd say it's something to consider by default in .03

i certainly use it mroe often than fontypython, which is fragging HUGE

It is relatively small, not sure about including it by default though? Hmm, I will give it some thought.

Re: SSH and Thunar

it's useful. Ever so useful.

Find me a regular Linux user who doesn't use ssh.

And find me the number who get annoyed with sftp, etc.

when I found out about this, I thought it was a godsend.

As I said: more useful than fontypython wink

Thank you but I'm not new on the crunchbanglinux forum , I was on the old wink .

Is it possible to dev a script  for use sshfs in a window ? I don't use window anymore for other things but for sftp and the new user of crunchbang it's could be very helpful .

Re: SSH and Thunar

I do this on my machines, but my user is a member of the fuse group and then in the autostart.sh mount it under ~/ssh/

I don't like doing that as I don't always need the folders, and I have several which, if i were to automount one, I'd do them all, but I rarely use one or two of them.

Re: SSH and Thunar

Hi - new to #! CL for just a few weeks and am greatly impressed. Great work !

Many thanks to The_Doctor ! Great tip, concisely written and worked first time. Had an ssh mount going within a couple minutes.

With some others, I wanted to add my vote for moving sshfs up the list to be considered part of the 'default' install. It's nearly an indispensable tool at this point, imho, but I also understand the need fight distro 'bloat creep'.

Re: SSH and Thunar

Hello and merci beaucoup pour l'info. wink
I had no problem connecting to my ssh host but do I need to set a special permission in order to write in it? I can't create files or folders with sshfs unless they are in my host/home/user/ directory.
I want to create www server and in /home/www/
Any advices?
Or should I just create a www user and sshmount its directory? (it seems smarter now that I think about it)

Oh and this is my terminal input

sshfs djakku@djakku.ath.cx:/ ~/oshiro

Re: SSH and Thunar

Just agreeing with most of these posts.. I found that command also, and it has made my life a dream.. I have used sshfs and have made a little bash script that mounts the directory and subsequently open up my file manager. After I put that in my menu in open box, file instantly became easier.

Especially now that I have set up password free ssh login from my laptop.

Could you post an example? Nautilus' ability to connect to a server is actually the only feature I envy my ubuntu friends :-)

Re: SSH and Thunar

i use ssh to access media with vlc does anyone know if that is the best protocol for simple at home sharing, smb sucks and lags. sshfs works fantastic i just didnt know if streaming would in any way be detrimental to sshfs.

also for copying over files through sh i use midnight commander it works great as long as there are no spaces in dir and ' in file names
