SSH Filesystem

It's easier than I thought.

When Brian Gilstrap mentioned sshfs to me a couple of weeks ago, I thought "neat." Today, I decided to look into it further. It turns out that it is available from one of the Fedora Core 5 Yum repositories. All I have to do is:

[root@gao-2006] # yum install *sshfs*

which pulled down the fuse, fuse-lib, and fuse-sshfs rpms. I have to add my login weiqi to the fuse group:

[root@gao-2006] # /usr/sbin/usermod -a -G fuse weiqi

Here's a short (53 seconds) screen cast of an sshfs session (You need VLC to view it on Windows or Mac OS X). As you can see, it is quite easy to mount and unmount an SSH filesystem. It's also fast enough for interactive use.
