./alexandru » sshfs instead of ftp

November 16, 2007 at 1:47 am

Got an ssh account on a machine? Don’t waste time retrieving a file, editing it, and uploading it manually.

sshfs user@target:/directory /mnt/point

You can then edit the file locally and, when saved, will do so across the ssh pipe.

My favorite way of editing remote files is with vim;

vim scp://user@target//path/to/some/file.txt

I am going to start using that where sshfs is not available, thanks.
