Jza Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 Gnome has a new feature called Places > Connect to Server > SSH which in case is a secure ftp connection however gnome mounts it somehow (it doesnt use /etc/fstab) and is able to open the folder and import/export files. I want to know if I can do something similar from the command line or from Midnight Commander. Also the KDE alternative is using fish, my question is, is there any resource or howto on doing this from the command line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lynchmob Posted December 24, 2005 Report Share Posted December 24, 2005 I use sftp via konqueror. In the address window, I type: sftp://lynchmob@192.168.0.xxx and am prompted for a password to the lynchmob account on the 192.168.0.xxx computer and then am connected. I have /etc/hosts set up so I can use aliases: 192.168.0.1 computer1.local comp1 and, so, all I need type to reach the host named computer1.local is: sftp://lynchmob@comp1 HTH lynch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it be something like a mount similar to a NFS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
