I'd like to play with some file system implementations for Fremantle. What is the magical incantation to mount an FTP or HTTP server's files as a filesystem? I don't want to use curlftpfs.

I'm thinking something like
Code:
mount -t ftp server.site.com:/home/what /mnt
I just can't get it right and documentation is hard to come by.

Thanks.

Code:
sudo curlftpfs ftp://server.site.com/home/what /mnt -o user=MyName
but i'm not finding curlsftpfs

If you have SSH couldn't you use SSHFS?

Exactly:
Code:
sshfs user-name@server.site.com:/home/what:  /mnt
Then:
Code:
fusermount -u /mnt
When you're done.

When the server only provides FTP service, how to use sshfs?

Ah. Well perhaps ftpfs is a good alternative. Article explaining how to install and use ftpfs is here: http://articles.techrepublic.com.com...1-5031896.html

Actually, that's obsoleted by fuse (which is what sshfs is based on). Couple of alternatives, though: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/FtpFs
