My b2evolution Version: 2.x

The program [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CurlFtpFS]curlftpfs[/url] is a tool to mount remote ftp hosts as local directories[1].

It may help b2evolution users, as well as those providing professional services, by enabling GNU/Linux shell commands to operate on the mounted remote ftp host data as if that were local to her/his environment.

Hope the Fuse/libcurl based progam is as useful to you as it was for me during an recent engagement.

As tweeted recently, this is typical way to mount an remote ftp host to a previously created local directory (local mount point):

curlftpfs -o user=[user_name]:[password],ssl_try ftp_host.do.com [local mount point]

Notice the ssl_try directive (separated with a comma from the password) implies: if available curlftpfs will use ssl; otherwise, the connection will be without it.

Regards.
