In a recent post I was writing about mount over ssh, for today let's look at mounting over ftp.

For this you need curlftps:

[radical@acasa ~]$ yum info curlftpfs
Installed Packages
Name : curlftpfs
Arch : x86_64
Version : 0.9.1
Release : 4.fc11
Size : 67 k
Repo : installed
Summary : CurlFtpFS is a filesystem for accessing FTP hosts based on FUSE and libcurl
URL : http://curlftpfs.sourceforge.net/

Description: CurlFtpFS is a filesystem for accessing FTP hosts based on FUSE and
: libcurl. It features SSL support, connecting through tunneling HTTP
: proxies, and automatically reconnecting if the server times out.

To mount into an existing folder /mnt/a110 you can use:

[radical@acasa ~]$curlftpfs 192.168.1.3 /mnt/a110 -o tcp_nodelay,user=username:password,hard_remove,uid=`id -u`,gid=`id -g`,sync_read

This is because the ftp server is in my home netowrk at 192.168.1.3.

I use this command to mount my Popcorn Hour A110.
