Sshfs was working before - sheesh, I was using it! Today, all I get is an error that tells me it can't find the command. So I go to yast and reinstall it. No change - I'm still getting the error! What could be going on?? Fuse is installed.
View 2 RepliesI know that SSHFS is the way to mount the file and directory on remote server. It has many advantages such as security, convenience, fast and so on. I wonder if there is disadvantage of SSHFS and the alternative to it? I am looking forward to your reply.
View 2 Replies View RelatedRight, just a quick question about rsnapshot over sshfs and encfs. I've set up an encfs filesystem, and when mounted on the remote machine remotely:
Code:
touch foo.bar
Code:
cp -al foo.bar foo.car
Works as one would expect it to.
The same is true on the local machine (The EncFS has External IV chaining disabled). However, when the remote dir is sshfs mounted on my computer here, and then encfs'd to a decrypt mount on my computer, I can move files to it, and they go over the network and get encrypted, however:
Code:
cp -al <file> <file>
No longer works, I get 'not implemented' errors...
I thought since I don't have External IV chaining this shouldn't be an issue - I've tried without any of the file chaining options, again to no effect. All work remotely, or with both locally, but not over sshfs. Is this a quirk of sshfs?
I just updated to 10.04 from 9.10 and suddenly gedit is saying I don't have permission to save files in an sshfs-mounted directory. Nothing I've found through Google works.
* I'm mounting using `sshfs james@of1-dev-james:/home/james/projects $HOME/projects`
* `fuse` is listed in /etc/modules
* I'm a member of the `fuse` group
* Using `newgrp fuse` before mounting stops gedit from seeing the mounted directory at all.
* /dev/fuse belongs to `root:fuse` and has `crw-rw-rw-` permission.
* Other apps e.g. `nano` have no problem reading/writing to this directory.
I'm wondering if anyone can give me some guidance, or point me to a relevant reference for setting up a single purpose ssh key.I have setup a single purpose key for rsync, where I have command="/path/to/rsync-secure" associated with the public key in .ssh/authorized_keys, and the rsync-script checks to make sure incoming commands begin with 'rsync --secure', What I would like to do is do something similar to allow sshfs access, and have the server path that can be mounted locked down to a particular location. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how this could be done?As an aside, I might also want to restrict the above rsync script to only allow synchronization to a particular path.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've used wake on lan and SSH on the local network for some time now. I also used SSH to mount a filesystem (SSHFS / sftp, same thing, right?) and I could forward X11, loved it. I used both these options for my convenience. So I decided it was time to open up some ports on my router (Linksys WRT320n running dd-wrt) and try to set up a remote connection. This actually worked after some time, so I'm now able to turn on my home computer from the Internet (school in my case) and then log in to it through SSH. I set this up using other ports then the default ports. Something like this (these are not the actual ports I use, just examples):
port 2112 -> port 9 (for wol, wake on lan)
port 2113 -> port 22 (for SSH)
This information might be useful: I set this up using public and private keys. This is necessary for SSHFS to work properly I think and it also makes it more secure. And then I found (and had some presumptions that this was going to happen) that both SSHFS and X11 were not working. I'd rather not open up more ports on the router for security's sake though, so I'm asking for other solutions. And if there really aren't any other solutions then which ports to forward. And if forwarding is really necessarily then how to make the client use port 2114 for SSHFS and 2115 for X11 so I can forward those ports to the default ports.
I mounted a remote directory using sshfs and I can't save files using gedit, while saving same file using vi works. Changin permission to o-r (640) allows gedit to save files OK. Is there a way to change sshfs connection to make gedit work without chmodding every file? (I use -o uid=`id -u` -o gid=`id -g`, so that remote files seem to be owned by me)

$ touch test.txt

I am mounting a remote directory using sshfs, over VPN. If the VPN connection is lost, the directory obviously can't be read. But, when I try to "ls" in its parent directory, the command just stalls. No error messages, and ctrl-d, ctrl-c, ctrl-z don't do anything. The command I ran to mount the directory was:
Code:
sshfs -o workaround=rename bt@example.com:/dir1 /dir1
I have two remote systems which I have fstab entries for on the local system. I have them set to noauto, because mount fails during boot for some reason, but that's not the problem. For years I've mounted them in rc.local.
The problem is after I recently reinstalled Debian, when I mount them manually it always asks for my user's password. I've copied my user's pub key from the local to the remote system and put it in the user authorized_keys file (not root), like I always have. But it still asks for a password, and so fails to mount in rc.local.
I added an sshfs entry fto /etc/fstab in a fresh FC15 build ona laptop and this seems to work
sshfs#user@server:/opt/apache-tomcat-7.0.2/webapps/ /mnt/server/opt/apache-tomcat-7.0.2/webapps/ fuse uid=500,gid=500,allow_other 0 0
I can mount and umount /mnt/server/opt/apache-tomcat-7.0.2/webapps/ without problems.
But after a reboot the systme it hangs when loading, I can't copy paste the messages but it said something about boot dependencies, and it was apparent the error was loading fstab. I had to Ctrl D or enter root password to get a recovery system, after commenting out the sshfs line (and some nfs lines too) from /etc/fstab after another reboot I was in.
sshfs used to be permitted in /etc/fstab it seems , I've not used it before, could this be a FC15 issue? I have seen other threads about FC15 and nfs boot issues presumably to do with the new booting mechanism.
I've got a non-vital sshfs filesystem in my fstab (by non-vital I mean just files that I access on-demand).However, the fstab file seems to get read and things try to mount before the network has been brought up. I recently switched to Kubuntu 10.10 from Arch, and Arch didn't display this behaviour.I'm wondering if it's possible to make it mount the sshfs filesystem AFTER the network has been brought up?

I have a desktop running Ubuntu 8.04. I installed 10.04 on my laptop. When I mount my desktop music folder on my laptop and transfer files, they now only go at 100-200 KB/s. When I had 9.10 installed, they transferred at 1-2 MB/s.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to set up sshfs on a desktop/fileserver so that I can mount its HDD's I use for storage on my laptops. My issue seems to be getting permission to write to the mounted drives. I just keep getting permission denied. here is what I think are some relevant tidbits.
mount point on server,

joe@joe-laptop:~$ ls -ld ~/sda2
drwxrwxrwx 2 joe joe 4096 2010-10-17 19:58 /home/joe/sda2
This is the command I'm trying to use to mount
Code:
sshfs joe@192.168.1.103:/home/joe/sda2 ~/sda2
I can chmod the mount on the server to 777 but as soon as I mount the HDD to the server all write permission just goes *poof* and its back to "drwxr-xr-x".Chown seems either, it just wont stick.
I have a server with a /data/ directory, everything in the /data/ folder has "-rwxrw-rw- 1 root root" permissions.all works fine, multiple users are mounting this over a lan and everyone is able to modify files. However I would like to be able to access the /data/music/ directory from the internet.
Is it possible to configure sshfs to only accept logins from a user restricted to reading the /data/music directory, or would it be possible to tunnel nfs over ssh in such a way that everyone on the lan 192.168.0.xxx has unrestricted access to the data directory, but something coming from outside only has read access to the music directory. Although is one were tunneling nfs over ssh, the nfs mount request would appear to come from the server itself. The router is at 192.168.0.1 and the server is at 192.168.0.3.This Seems very much like what I want to do, however I'm having a bit of trouble getting this to work well with other users mounting with full rights over the lan too.
I'd like to add a user to my server that will only have access to a mount point over sshfs. Is there any way I can provide them this access without actually giving them permission to open a terminal on my server? I tried /bin/false and /sbin/nologin already, but /bin/false didn't allow the mount point to be made and /sbin/nologin prevented a login completely (also stopped the mount point from working).
View 6 Replies View RelatedWe recently had a serious loss of data because of SSHFS mounting. A user in our group mounted the entire home directory of our server (/home). This was so they could easily move between user folders to read/write data from other people involved in the same project. They then deleted several folders that were not in there home directory.
Now I know this is a bad idea and that there should be a dedicated "projects" folder where everyone collaborates and does their stuff. Such a folder/system exits but I can't make them use it. My question: Is there anyway to configure SSHFS such that the only thing the user's can mount is their home directory? Obviously this won't fix the problem since they can sym-link to other folders but I've got to start somewhere. Perhaps there's a better solution (one that doesn't involve me nagging users about proper form).
I am struggling with getting an sshfs mount mounted on system boot. I have a script that mounts the sshfs for "userA". When userA runs the script all is well - user A can access the remote filesystem, root user can't see it as expected. The basic command is: sshfs userA@remote host:/home/userA /home/userA/mountdir -p 21212 -o password_stdin < passwordfile. I can prepend the sshfs command in the script with su - userA -c and when I run this script logged in as root all is well, userA has access and all is well. If I then put this script in /etc/init.d and reference it properly in the rc. directories the mount doesn't happen. If I prepend the sshfs command with sudo, same thing. Logged in as root I can run the script and UserA has access. Run the script in /etc/init.d during startup and the mount doesn't happen. Echoing text to a log file shows that the script is being executed but no mount happens.

Notice it says that the 'Radio is disabled by switch' in dmesg. I can press that switch until the end of the world comes and it does absolutely nothing but make the WLAN light put on a light show. And it shows the wlan to be unassociated with any clients. So, what are my options to get this Wireless up and working?
