Hello,
i'd like to mount remote ftp and ssh dirs into my local dir-tree, however can't find info on that for FreeBSD. I can't find neither a port, nor something for the kernel (like LUFS in Lunix). Other network-FSs are not an option. BTW - If you wonder whats its use is: i would like to access the files i work on with different programming tools seamlessly.
Is it possible at all in FreeBSD 5.1?
TIA
I don't know for sure whether it's possible or not, but mounting a remote FTP directory onto a local mount point does not sound like a good idea.
You said that other network filesystems are not an option, but then neither FTP or SSH (assuming you meant FTP tunnelled through SSH) are networking filesystems either. The two popular implemtations of network filesystems are NFS (Unix) and SMB (Unix via Samba, Windows). You should take a close look at those since you will get much better performance and security with them than by grafting an FTP directory to your filesystem. If you need this in order to do your job and don't have administrator access to the remote machine(s), then petition your system administrator to look into NFS or SMB.

Of course you are right when you say there are better solutions for network-filesystems, and i use them when i have access to the server config. However most servers i work on are mass-products where your personal need for features is always answered by "upgrade your account". This, in turn, arises the need for some other (OS-level) solution.
