Mount ftp as filesystem

  • 772

What is the most stable way of mounting an FTP filesystem? curlftpfs doesn't work very reliably for me :/ is there a better way?

Edit: I'm on ubuntu!

Edit 2: I tried version 0.9.2. I did a mount, and then a cp ../index.html . and I get cp: closing './index.html': Input/output error. (This is the third ftp-server I'm having trouble with, and I've reinstalled the system in between.)

If it's of any help, I do curlftpfs -o user=xxx:yyy ftp.example.com ftpdir

ftp mount

  1. Which version of curlftpfs are you using? I hope it's not the unstable 0.9.2-1. Try a slightly older version. I don't know what OS you're using, but if it's OS X you could look at WebDrive or ExpanDrive.

  2. sudo curlftpfs -o umask=0777,uid=1000,gid=1000,allow_other \
