Windows 7 – How to Mount Remote UNIX Directory

mountunixwindows 7

I have ssh access to a UNIX machine. I was wondering if there was a way to mount my home directory as a windows drive, so that I'm able to edit the UNIX files with in windows. Any free software would be fine. I've seen this question, but what I want is a drive mounted with UNIX directory.

Thanks

NFS can be quite tricky.

You should check /etc/exports file at the 10.112.12.180 and see if the share has been setup with read+write permissions (rw). A correct /etc/exports line should be something like

/dir1/dir2/dir xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx(rw)

... where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address (range) for your allowed NFS clients.

Also NFS might shoot you to the foot if you're trying to copy files as a different user than the one owning the NFS share.

You should be able to mount using sshfs. Try this from the local machine:

sshfs -o idmap=user $USER@1.2.3.4:/remote/path /local/path
