My webserver is down for the moment, so I can't upload this. Don't know
when it's going to be up again but if you want I could post the tarball
here, it's only 20kb...

                SSH-mount
=========================================
By Jonatan Liljedahl <li...@ky...>

This is a small application for ROX that lets you mount remote machines
over
ssh to your local filesystem.

It uses sshfs-fuse by Miklos Szeredi <mi...@sz...>.

SSH-mount uses the name of a directory as the hostname in the form
[user@]hostname. For example "fo...@so...". If a user was not
given in
the name of the dir, SSH-mount uses the current user as the default.

When launched, SSH-mount asks in a dialogue for username and what remote
directory to mount.

If ssh needs to ask for a password, it will call the program pointed to
by the
environment variable SSH_ASKPASS. One recommended program for this is
gtk-led-askpass available from
http://muse.19inch.net/~daf/gtk-led-askpass

SSH-mount can be used in two ways:

1)
  Place a link to SSH-mount in your ~/Choices/SendTo/.inode_directory.
  Right-click on a directory (named as a hostname) and choose SSH-mount.

2)
  Put a COPY of SSH-mount.template in your ~/Choices/Template and edit
it so
  that the SSHMOUNTDIR variable points to the directory where you placed
  SSH-mount (default is "~/Apps"). Name the template "SSH-mount" or
something
  like that. To add a host, just choose it from the "New" context
submenu and
  name it as a hostname, when you launch that AppDir the host will be
mounted.

Mounted hosts are unmounted with "fusermount -u mountpoint", a simple
AppDir
named FUSE-unmount is shipped with SSH-mount and can be put in your
~/Choices/SendTo/.inode_mountpoint for easy unmounting of any FUSE fs.
