Mounting a Remote FTP Folder

Question

linux

There was such a need to mount a remote FTP to the FS. I cheerfully downloaded from the curlftpfs repository, but when I tried to use it, I ran into a problem.

Everything seems to be fine, it connects, goes to the right folder (I turned on the -v option and checked the output in the console), but in fact everything hangs clean. All applications completely hang when trying to access not only the mount point, but also its parent folder.

Tried both as a user and as a root - the result is the same.

Distr - Debian Wheezy

Answer 1

If you need a desktop, then www.uvena.de/gigolo/ , for a server you can use sshfs.

Answer 2

How exactly do you mount? You can try adding options like this:
ftpusername:[email protected] /path/to/mountpoint curlftpfs rw,allow_other,uid=userid,gid=groupid 0 0

Answer 3

Passive mode?
