Requiring six months of reasonable activity before handing over the reins is a neat and novel way to ensure the new maintainer doesn't have crypto mining bot nets in mind :)
Shameless plug: I used sshfs at work for about 3 years, and I made a fork for myself, featuring a persistent cache layer on metadata caches... I really appreciate the project, but I am not confident enough to maintain it.<p><a href="https://github.com/andy0130tw/sshfs" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/andy0130tw/sshfs</a>
Well, there is "gio mount sftp://USER@XYZ" after which you can access the files under "/run/user/1000/gvfs/sftp:host=XYZ,user=USER/SOME_PATH/…"
i've always wanted to use sshfs but never id. I used to set it up and get hung mounts all the time (typically from transient failures) so it was really annoying to use.<p>For the most part scp or rsync gets the job done for me, which is strange considering a real file system should be way more useful.<p>What are peoples use cases for sshfs and is there alternative workflows?
rclone will also mount sftp as a drive <a href="https://rclone.org/sftp/" rel="nofollow">https://rclone.org/sftp/</a>
We changed the URL from <a href="https://github.com/libfuse/sshfs/commit/c91eb9a9a992f1a36c49a8e6f1146e45b5e1c8e7" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/libfuse/sshfs/commit/c91eb9a9a992f1a36c49...</a>, which is hard to follow, to the project page which seems to say the same thing.
Thank you. I'm using sshfs every day to remotely access my computer and servers from my laptop. Although it's slow, it works. I'm considering to switch to NFS instead.
Used sshfs a lot at a previous workplace that had us do all development on a remote (very out of date) Debian box as there was no way of running the codebase locally. Don't even ask.<p>Great tool though, Sublime Text worked great alongside it and allowed me to be somewhat productive.
This has been coming for a number of years now, but the maintainer was just active enough that nobody seemed to care about their wishes to hand over the software. Hopefully this will lead to someone actually taking over now.
I hope they can find a maintainer. sshfs is such an awesome tool, I can set up network file shares super easily when I don't need some crazy robust storage solution
Not SSHFS specific but is there a tool to crawl all these forks and find which ones are at least not behind? Or which are ahead? Something easy to browse?
There's this fork. I don't know how it differs from the original.<p>MacSSHFS. Mac Version of Sshfs<p><a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31502068" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31502068</a><p>Submitted by tormodw | 26 days ago | 1 point
