SSHFS (alternative protocol for Macintosh access to samba drives) - looking for a small number of "beta testers"

SSHFS (SSH Filesystem) is a filesystem client to mount and interact with directories and files located on a remote server or workstation over a normal ssh connection. The CLASSE Computer Group has concluded internal testing and is looking for a small number of "beta testers" from the larger CLASSE community. If you are interested in testing sshfs, please send email to service-classe@cornell.edu

Initial documentation on using SSHFS can be found at SshFs .

General network and server maintenance will occur every Tuesday from 12:00 noon to 2:00 PM. The CLASSE-IT group will always announce any expected disruptions in our NewsLetter and via CLASSE-IT-NEWS-L, but with the size and complexity of our network there is always the potential for something to go wrong. We will do our best to contain all network maintenance and planned outages to Tuesdays from 12:00 noon to 2:00 PM.

Unless other arrangements have been made, CLASSE-managed Windows systems may be updated and rebooted on Tuesday morning at 2:00 AM, so please avoid critical or lengthy operations at that time. For more details, please see SystemExpectations.
