SSHFS<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 SSHFS allows you to mount a portion or all of your home directory from our servers to your local machine or to mount a portion of your local machines file system in your home directory on our servers.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Please note that while Ubuntu is used as an example, you can use any of our shells servers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 SSHFS requires a machine with ssh installed and the fuse file system installed.\u00a0 If you install sshfs, it will install the necessary requirements:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Debian based systems: apt-get install sshfs<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 RedHat based systems: yum install sshfs<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Suse Systems: zypper install sshfs<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 For MacOS, you can get Fuse and SHFS (does same as SSHFS for Mac) at https:\/\/sourceforge.net\/projects\/osxfuse\/<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 For Windows: https:\/\/win-sshfs.googlecode.com\/files\/win-sshfs-0.0.1.5-setup.exe<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 For example, let’s say you wish to work on your website and edit on your home machine.\u00a0 You’d like the changes you make to be immediate rather than having to sync the changes using FTP after you are done.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 To do this, on your local machine in a terminal window type:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 sshfs<\/span> user<\/span>@ubuntu<\/span>.eskimo.com<\/span>:<\/span>\/home\/<\/span>user<\/span>\/public_html<\/span> public_html<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Substitute “user<\/span>” for whatever your actual login is.\u00a0 You should be able to use any of our shell servers but it is known to work on ubuntu<\/span>.\u00a0 It will prompt for password.\u00a0 After the password is successfully entered, public_html on your local machine will be the same as public_html on the ubuntu server and any changes you make will be immediately reflected there.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 When you are done and wish to unmount the file system type:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 fusermount -u public_html<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 This is whatever directory you specified when you mounted the file system.\u00a0 You can even mount your entire home directory this way. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It is possible to do the opposite and mount directories from your home machine onto Eskimo’s server If your machine listens to ssh connections and either has a static IP or you at least know the IP address at the time.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 To mount a directory from your machine on to one of our servers, first ssh into our servers or come in with x2go, then use the same syntax substituting your machine’s name or IP address for ubuntu and your username on your machine to login.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Be sure to unmount when you are done.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
