just wanted to share an interesting project with
y'all. I have moved most of my files and anything I need to work on to
the Ubuntu 8.04 server I have running on a very old dell optiplex gx150
under my desk. I have set up the OpenSSH server and as long as I have a
linux box, I have been able to run sshfs to mount the remote directory
and do work from anywhere. However, there have been many circumstances
where I don't have access to a linux box and have had to use Putty or
something similar to move files back and forth from a windows box. I
have been looking for a way to mount a remote directory using ssh in
windows, and stumbled upon DokanSSHFS. It is a "user mode file system
for windows" according to it's creator. You can find the project info
and downloads at http://dokan-dev.net/en/ <http://dokan-dev.net/en/> .
Like anything that combines windows and linux, you'll have to feel your
way around and not everything works perfectly, but seems to allow in
place file modification, creation, copy/paste, drag and drop etc... just
what I was looking for.
