#sshfs

Today I learned you can use #SSHFS to auto mount a directory over SFTP such that it appears like a local directory to desktop userland applications. I've noticed that some applications don't like letting you save files directly to GVFS or other locations for network folders mounted by the user, but SSHFS just uses SFTP and can run at boot via fstab to make a network mount look like a local folder. Very handy for sharing folders with VMs in a transparent manner.

@gerowen 12 tb seems huge but when you think you need to put image and snapshots from multiple pc it quickly gets a lot smaller. for biz I like the dual nas setup with faster networking, dual port connect-x 56g cards are like 50 bucks - you can do point to point from a ws to dual nas and then have 2 ports left to sync nas quick - i think it is the ideal setup for smb sector where they need 5 nines uptime and backups of their backups essentially #mission critical data #guymager #timeshift #samba #nfs #sshfs #grsync #tech consulting praxis

#WhatsMissing: a #TUI-based #Office #Suite using modern & lean file formats:

  • A #markdown-based #Layouting & #DesktopPublishing tool that can basically handle #LaTeX and spit out #HTML as well as #PDF

  • A #TSV (because #tabs are better than #spaves and people use commas if they follow Genevan Nomenclature of Mathematics; also it should just store data, not manipulate it (or even if it should only display the results when asked to and instead store the Function for the cell I.e. =A1*B1

  • A simple and elegant #presentation tool (may just be a few presets for the #Editor)…

  • A small and nifty #FormulaEditor that allows converting regular math formulas pleasingly by converting them into LaTeX - Syntax for use in said documents.
    Bonus points if it's also a scientific calculator with formula plotter supporting 2D and 3D outputs as well as export into tables.

  • A #database & #API tool that allows downloading, uploading, syncing and comparing #SQL and #NoSQL-DBs, their entries as well as queries.

  • A #notetaking tool that integrates with #git and allows both #versioning and #collaboration this way...

  • A minimalist #TUI menu that may also help setup #versioning (i.e. #git) and #collaboration (i.e. #Nextcloud) and #sync (i.e. #SFTP / #SSHFS, #SMB, Nextcloud, …) as well as other nice settings for most things.

  • A draw.io - alike #diagram editor that can handle #XML and also basic markdown as import & export language and has powerful self-layouting options.

  • A #terminal #screenshot tool alike the one The DOS compatibility card offered with #DOSCLIP ...

OF course given that (almost) all of this can be done with #neovim and a few other tools it's unlikely to get made...

#TIL (better TItested)
#ssh #sshfs option ‹-o reconnect› lets a sshfs-mount 'virtually' survive a system suspend.

That is, the underlying connection will break after a short while and open files will be closed. But the remote filesystem stays mounted and gets reconnected upon the next access to it with a little delay.

very nice …

#kdeneon #kdeconnect #bug #sshfs #linux

Gerade das neue #Update für #KDE Neon mit #Plasma 5.27 installiert.
Mal wieder, wie so oft die Male vorher auch, haben sie dabei KDE #Connect kaputt gemacht, weil #sshfs wieder ne #Fehlermeldung ausgibt. Musste Connect wieder auf die vorherige Version runterstufen. Ein Glück weiss ich mittlerweile durch die vielen broken Updates bei Connect, wie ich das mache. Am Anfang hatte ich mal gar keinen Plan davon. Aber ärgerlich ist das trotzdem.

Any recommendations for mounting a folder via #SSH or #SFTP as a #FileSystemInUserSpace on #Windows?

In the past I've used Win-SSHFS, which worked well, but it hasn't had updates since 2016, and I can't even get the last devel release to work, and the latest stable relies on a really old release of #Dokan / #Dokany

I've also tried SSHFS-Win (yes, gotta love such similar names) which uses #WinFSP and supports #SiriKali frontend, but doesn't seem to support #PuTTYPageant.

#o2switch se rend compte que j'utilise leur hébergement pour mes données nextcloud, via un montage #sshfs.

Apparemment, ça pose un problème avec leurs conditions d'utilisation... (Alors qu'un gros site qui va utiliser beaucoup plus de bande passante que mon petit nextcloud, ça va... Paie ta logique...).

J'ai 15 jours pour rappatrier mes données et me renconstruire un nextcloud ailleurs. Oh joie.
