How to install SSHFS and FUSE

  1. SSH File System (SSHFS) Website: http://fuse.sourceforge.net/sshfs.html
    Filesystem in UserSpace (FUSE) Website: http://fuse.sourceforge.net/

    How to install SSHFS and FUSE: http://crazytoon.com/2008/10/07/sshfs-how-do-you-install-sshfs-and-fuse-centoslinuxredhat/
  2. Some potential error during my installation:

    "fuse: failed to open /dev/fuse: Permission denied", the solution is to use root to run"chmod o+rw /dev/fuse"

    "sshfs: error while loading shared libraries: libfuse.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory." The solution is to run "ln -s /usr/local/lib/libfuse.so.2 /lib64/" for 64 bit or ln -s /usr/local/lib/libfuse.so.2 /lib/ for 32-bit

Nemo

It's a new way of managing files. Or rather not manage files. Currently it's a cross between a calendar and a file browser with labels. It's a free/open source GTK application written in C#.
You can download an alpha version and try it out! As a side-effect, you'll likely learn something about your past computer use right away!
