Firefox 3 beta 2 Arrives with More Speed and Fewer Bugs (Wired)Firefox 3 beta 2 Arrives with More Speed and Fewer Bugs (Wired)Posted Dec 21, 2007 11:00 UTC (Fri) by drag (subscriber, #31333)In reply to: Firefox 3 beta 2 Arrives with More Speed and Fewer Bugs (Wired) by leomilano Parent article: Firefox 3 beta 2 Arrives with More Speed and Fewer Bugs (Wired)
I use SSHFS for my remote-ssh-file-system needs. Works with all applications because it's implimented at the FUSE-file system level rather then in application libraries. Much better design then Kioslaves or Gnome-VFS, IMHO. Faster, more reliable, more transparent, etc etc. Sshfs makes OpenSSH a faster file server transport then NFS up to 100Mb/s networks. Plus it does a good job of integrating kerberos and other sorts of authentication protocols. Hopefully Gnome-VFS2 and Kioslaves with KDE4 will have FUSE compatability methods so that applications not programmed for KDE or Gnome can also take advantage of that sort of thing. Like have a library level way to access remote files and also have a ~/.kde/fuse/fish/servername way to access those files.

Firefox 3 beta 2 Arrives with More Speed and Fewer Bugs (Wired) Posted Dec 22, 2007 0:18 UTC (Sat) by jospoortvliet (subscriber, #33164) [Link] there has been a KIO-fuse thing for ages, but it isn't used a lot. And if you open a remote location with konqi and open a file there with Gimp, the KIOslaves will download it to a temporary location, and re-upload the file if you changed it. Almost transparent. I agree FUSE would be the way forward, but for now, KIO does a great job... And its design allows to use eg GVFS2 or another backend, too.
