Usage example

Policy explicitly states that "Wikipedia articles should not include instruction". Hence I see no reason this section should stay. Cheers --Pak21 18:23, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Giving a usage example is the easiest and most informative way to illustrate a computer program. This article is not trying to be an exaustive manual. I say it should stay; the fact that it can be used as a very limited instruction does not negate its usefulness in describing the program. Thue | talk 20:42, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree it should stay. The example here is a concise way to explain what the program does - not a tutorial. --Risacher 02:40, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, it exactly answered the questions I had. I would far rather see summaries of what a beastie is, with optional link to such instruction. Unix man pages are an example of the sillyness of such an approach - they drop you to the bottom of the bucket of the nitty gritty details, frequently not answering the 'what is this' question in the first place. Usually resulting in the man pages being ignored. --Bs27975 (talk) 19:18, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comparable systems

Is anyone aware of comparable ssh-based filesystems for non-linux operating systems? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Risacher (talk • contribs) 02:42, 4 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]

The nearest Windows equivalent I've found is webdrive ( www.webdrive.com ), which can connect to SFTP, FTP, and WEBDAV servers. It does include a caching layer, though, which means it reads/writes whole files and stores a copy on the local system. As for non-Linux *nixes, FUSE also runs on OS X, Solaris, and FreeBSD, so sshfs works on those OSes also. --199.67.51.116 22:56, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Plan 9 has one called sftpfs which translates sftp to 9p. 70.225.161.132 (talk) 00:30, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Userbox

If you use OpenSSH and SSHFS for networking on Linux, please feel free to put this userbox on your user page!

Code

Result

This user networks Linux PCs with OpenSSH and SSHFS.

Usage

If you want variations on this box please leave me a note here and I will make them up. -Ahunt (talk) 23:58, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Approaches to SSHFS - Chart

It would be useful if this chart:
- Placed cygwin within it, wherever appropriate to do so.
- indicated (FOSS or $?) for each piece of software mentioned.

--Bs27975 (talk) 19:23, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Actually the chart has been tagged as unsourced for 2 1/2 years and, as you point out has some serious deficiencies, so I have removed it. - Ahunt (talk) 19:35, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
