• Ask HN: Best modern file transfer/synchronization protocol?

  Seconding rsync and syncthing. The server could expose an smb or nfs share, the client could mount it, and then sync to that mount. Rsync over ssh also works, if you do not want to run smb/nfs. This is also a cool tool https://rclone.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Which synchronization tool are you using together with the pCloud Crypto Folder?

  Rclone provides a special pCloud config option, which makes the setup straight forward. Rclone can encrypt the data it uploads with its own encryption but not with the pCloud encryption. Therefore it can only upload data to the unencrypted pCloud folders, not to the Crypto Folder. Source: 5 months ago

• Rclone syncs your files to cloud storage

  > It's replaced sshfs for some cases. I'd been using sshfs for some years until I learned that rclone can mount remotes to the file system, and I've been using that happily since then. https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_mount/ > at present SSHFS does not have any active, regular contributors, and there are a number of known issues - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• A currently maintained fork of SSHFS

  Interesting, I alaways assumed sshfs was part of OpenSSH, learn something new every day. Also, looks like sshfs used in Slackware is abandoned. https://github.com/libfuse/sshfs A quote from the link, I wonder if this project will be the 'one': >If you would like to take over this project, you are welcome to do so. Please fork it and develop the fork for a while. Once... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

  SSHFS offers a solution for connecting to SSH servers through a network filesystem client. Enables users to seamlessly mount remote filesystems, without any server-side requirements. Underknowledge appreciates it "for mounting remote machines.". Source: 8 months ago

• How does openrc run commands under another user, even if the user has no shell access? My attempts to do this with sshfs using `su` and `rununser` fail.

  However, my setup relies on me using sshfs to "mount" a remote directory (which houses the media that jellyfin uses). For jellyfin to have access to this directory, it has to run the command under its user (based on sshfs manpages). Source: 10 months ago

• how best to edit remote files?

  So I need to work with remote files and wondered how people here go about that. I've looked at sshfs, which seems the most obvious way to go and presumably would work fine (?), but it is an archived project; and tried distant.nvim, but that didn't click too well. Source: 10 months ago
