how to create a SSHFS mount drive on RH linux machine for remote HPUX-PA machine home dire.,

[GaneshrajS]

Hi,
Will you please let me know the procedure to create a SSHFS mount drive for my remote HPUX-PA home directory on my local Linux(RH)? I am able to do it through NFS, but I need to do it through SSHFS.
Thanks,
Ganeshraj.S

assuming you are the root user on your linux box (otherwise preceed the commands by a sudo clause)

1. yum install fuse-sshfs
2. edit /etc/group file and add your username to fuse group

-from now on I made following assumptions
------ your linux username is Lganesh
------ your hpux username is also Hganesh
------ your home directory on both sides is /home/

3. create a local directory where you want to mount the sshfs filesystem, such as:
mkdir /home/Lganesh/myremotehpux_home
4. chown ganesh /home/Lganesh/myremotehpux_home
5. sshfs my.hpux.server.com:/home/Hganesh /home/Lganesh/myremotehpux_home
6. cd /home/Lganesh/myhpux_home
7. ls -l

at this point, you will be able to see the hpux home directory contents.

Hope this helps.
