This is a kernel module that allows mounting ftp, ssh, sftp and others as a normal "local" filesystem. Similar to KDE3.1's kio_fish, this is a module and daemon that can be used by any application.

I'd love to see this in some future releases. I'm working on one now, based on eadz's KnoppixKDE; but I'm a hack when it comes to anything moderately complicated.



Please consider this, as I'm sure you can see the usefullness of it. Here's a usage example from the site:


Mount example:


[user@localhost]$ lufsmount sshfs://[email protected] ~/mnt/lufs –-fmask=444 -–dmask=555


or, using mount:

[root@localhost]# mount -t lufs none /mnt/lufs -o nosuid,fs=sshfs,host=lufs.sourceforge.net,username =mali,fmode=444,dmode=555


This would be a fantastic match with Knoppix. The usefulness is mouth-watering. Please, please sneak this into the next KnoppixKDE, hell, the next Knoppix.
