sshfs

     I’ve had customers who wanted to use the shared folders capability of x2go but were unsuccessful.  I talked to one customer who successfully shared folders between two machines at home but suggested sshfs is easier.

     With either of these, if I attempt to share a directory from my home directory on our servers, it will show the underlying physical disks but not the NFS mounted home directories.

     So far I haven’t found any work-around.  This situation is so common, campus systems for example in which workstation clusters mount home directories via NFS, and then students who want to share to their laptops, etc, that I would think there would be a fix but so far I’ve found none.

     If anybody has gotten this to work, please do share your secret.
