ftpfs to your website!?!

I always hated updating my website ;( Don't like the Hosting's website tool as it only works on the platform I don't use. And ftp'ing is just not 2100 century. Then I stumbeled on curlftpfs, it's old but good news.


#sudo apt-get install curlftpfs
#sudo nano /etc/fuse.conf

uncomment user_allow_other

#mkdir mountpoint
#curlftpfs -o allow_other ftp://user:pass@ftp.somewhere.org mountpoint/

Now you can do normal file commands in the mountpoint, Like editing in emacs and storing the files directly.
