SSHFS
This allows you to access the Unix file system directly from your computer
sudo apt-get install sshfs
Install SSHFS and OSXFuse
Google and install homebrew (you made need the gcc compiler and developer tools) in a terminal simply type:
brew install sshfs
Homebrew is cool it works similar to Linux apt-get, yum commands etc so you can install things like emacs and inkscape too.
I believe this is still possible, but running a Virtual Machine (IT will support this!) it's probably the easiest option and running Linux!
Create a folder in your home directory
mkdir NOC
Add the following to your .bashrc or .bash_profile on mac
alias mountnoc='sshfs $USER@ssh.noc.soton.ac.uk:/ NOC'
$USER is your nocs username You can set whatever machine you like, and you can set it to your home directory here it's just set the the top directory and I've set a load of aliases such as home and scratch to navigate through quickly.
- -o flasg will set sshfs to follow symbolic links - if you set to the top directory then
I recomend setting top dir and symbolic linking your home dir
Any trouble with it you can unmount it:
sudo umount NOC
Still miss behaving simply:
sudo umount NOC
rm -rf NOC
mkdir NOC
mountnoc
Removing the mountpoint won't try and delete the file system itself NB removing files within the mountpoint does delete the files!
NB: If you use this command for a machine other than charon outside of NOCS you'll need to be on vpn:
sshfs -o username@tethys.noc.soton.ac.uk:/ NOC
if you don't want to use VPN just change to
sshfs -o username@charon.noc.soton.ac.uk:/ NOC
