Thank you for replying. Yes my system does have the fuse group. Running the above command I get fuse:x:111:amit I added my username 'amit' to that group as per instructions in the previous post in the thread. I guess I am unsure as to how to properly use fuse+sshfs. Here are some notes that might of interest: * Install of fuse-utils, sshfs was successful. * The only error message I got was using module-assistant to install the fuse kernel module. I guess it wasn't really necessary to install the kernel module fuse since it looks like the debian etch kernel already has it? * I create a directory in my home folder called 'mnt_ssh' * I run the command sshfs <myusername>@<host> mnt_ssh - I get this error: fusermount: failed to open /dev/fuse: No such file or directory. * I try to run the above command with sudo and I get the same error. * Sure enough /dev/fuse does not exist. * Now here comes the interesting part. At one point, after I rebooted I decided to just check on /dev/fuse and it did exist! So I guess udev created it but I'm not sure what I did to get it created. I am sure I am missing something quite simple here. Thanks again, Amit -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
