curlftpfs

CurlFtpFS is a filesystem for acessing ftp hosts based on FUSE and libcurl.

linux-volume-manager

The point of this application is to both simplify and automate the mounting of fuse file systems, as well as the synchronization of directories across multiple systems. I wrote this application because I had what is probably a common problem, I had a desktop with a very large hard disk, and a backup ... [More] space attached, and I had a laptop with a comaratively small hard disk and no backup space. I wanted to be able to have access to all of the information in a uniform manor. I realized that it would be better to mount some directories/folders directly over sshfs or some other network based file system, while in other cases it would be better to keep the two folders/directories in sync with tools such as rsync. I searched the web for something that behaved in the way that I wanted it to, but found nothing. Eventually I resolved to write my own implementation. Current state of the application: The current release is what I would consider pre alpha, being revision 0.2. It works on my system, but it has very little fault tolerance. It has two modules one for ftpfs and another for sshfs, I will continue to develop modules for the 0.2 system as i begin work on r0.3. Goals for 0.3: Move passwords out of the mappings.list file and into a secure secrets file. Create a more fault tolerant environment which will test for success and failure and try other methods to gain success. Get auto mount on net-up working. And implement unmount. Roadmap: My final goal for this project is to create a proper kde4 application, with a simple ui to mount unmount and sync directories across two or more systems, through combining various fuse file systems, and synchronization tools.

nntpfs

The Network News Transfer Protocol or NNTP is an Internet application protocol for the distribution of news and occasionally binary files. Usenet, represents the most common usage of the NNTP protocol. The Filesystem in Userspace (FUSE) interface allows user application code to create its own ... [More] filesystems and publish them using kernel support. FUSE is primarily available in Unix-like systems. This software will allow (when completed) read-only mounting of news-servers through FUSE. CURRENT STATUS: usable alpha BIGGEST ISSUE: no management for cached information --- Added mplayerfs, a file system that plays all media files that are written to it. [Less]

bindfs

Overviewbindfs is a FUSE filesystem for mounting a directory to another location, similarly to mount --bind. The permissions inside the mountpoint can be altered using various rules. ExamplesHere are some examples of what bindfs can do for you: Make a directory read-only. bindfs --perms=a-w ... [More] somedir somedir Share a directory with some other users without modifying /etc/group. bindfs --mirror-only=joe,bob,@wheel ~/some/dir shared Make your website available to the webserver process read-only. bindfs --owner=www --perms=0000:u=rD ~/stuff/website ~/public_html Make all new files uploaded to an FTP share owned by you and seen by everyone. bindfs --create-for-user=me --create-with-perms=u+rw,a+rD /var/ftp/uploads /var/ftp/uploads Manualbindfs --help man 1 bindfs Supportbindfs has been tested on Linux 2.4/2.6 with fuse 2.5.3+ as well as Mac OS X 10.5 with MacFUSE. Please tell me if you have tried it on another platform, such as FreeBSD. Basic installation instructions are available. All bug reports, comments and ideas are very welcome at or the issue tracker.

catfs

CatFS allows you to virtually concatenate few files. I created this to be able mount partition images which has been splitted (because of Fat32 4GiB file size limit) to few files. It's built on top of FUSE (filesystem in userspace). It is in very alpha development stage, however it can do something already :-)

Road map0.3Goals for 0.3: Move passwords out of the mappings.list file and into a secure secrets file. Create a more fault tolerant environment which will test for success and failure and try other methods to gain success. Get auto mount on net-up working. Implement unmount. Fix current bugs. Port the project to kdevelop 0.4Build a rudimentary gui, based on kde4 libs. Get sync by proxy mount up and working, this is for non rsync supported protocals like ftp, webdav,etc... 0.5Have all of the modules finished. 0.6Have a finished gui 0.7prepare for 1.0 release. All other revisions from this point are bug fix releases. 0.7 should be considered a code freeze.
