At my university everything is firewalled and the only way I can transfer files to/from my account is to use sftp -- but that gets quite painful after a while. I was wondering if anybody knew a way I might achieve what could essentially be described as mounting an sftp ``export''? Maybe I could specify an argument that sets the logical root? So: mount_sftp --root=3D/home/lewiz foo.bar.com /remote_home would provide /home/lewiz on foo.bar.com at /remote_host? Is this possible in any way at all? Or can anybody suggest any other way I might achieve something similar? Bear in mind I am actually restricted to sftp/ssh.
