Kernel Module / Patch with implements "sshfs"

Kernel Module / Patch with implements "sshfs"

[Thomas Foerster]

Hi folks,

i came across the idea to mount a remote filesystem via SSH[1|2].

I've seen a free program for Windows that implements parts of what i'm
thinking of.

Does someone know about a kernel module/patch to implement a "sshfs" ?
(to be used with mount)

What i want to do is to mount my webserver (external ip) from an internal
system (internal ip).

Thanks,
  Thomas

Check out freeswan (www.freeswan.org).  It adds IPsec support to the linux
kernel.

Once you have a tunnel setup with IPsec, you can use nfs, or whatever other
network file system over the internet safely...

A simpler way is to use the kio_fish
 http://apps.kde.com/na/2/info/id/1331
(I had problem with compiling this under SuSE 7.1 but with
SuSE 7.3 there were no problems)

You browsing will look like:
 fish://192.168.9.99/home/
compare with
 ftp://ftp.kernel.org/

And since it is KDE all KDE programs will be able to use it :-)
(To be sure I tried to create a file with advanced editor and save it
 remote - it worked! :-)

And if you use uservfs (.sourceforge.net), all programs can do
that. As good as if it was kernelspace, but it stays userland.

Seems nice, but the problem is :

I'm not using X :)

What i want to do is :

Mount our external Webserver from our internal Administration Server via 100MBit LAN
connection.

Thanx,
  Thomas

Install uservfs(.sf.net), then cd /overlay/#sh:user@host/.

Does all X programs support # in filename?

And how do you enter the password?
(Especially if you are using it from an X program.)
I guess you like to avoid entering it on the command line...

But I agree in principe - all kio slaves should really be uservfs slaves...

If they don't, they are broken.

For now, only RSA autentication is supported. You can enter inside
path for ftp, but no it is not the best solution.
