Looks like gvfs and gnome-vfs are not what I need. Gnome-vfs on CentOS is *broken* in that it doesn't work with OOo when using a sftp connection. That works OK with Fedora 12. The biggest problem is gvfs doesn't present a non-GUI based "mount point" (?). It is hidden down in a ~.gvfs directory. So non-Gnome (and even some Gnome) programs can't find or get access to the directory. I'm current re-allocating some tuits to figuring out how to get sshfs (FUSE based) to work from Gnome. There is the afuse (auto-mount for FUSE) package but it appears to need to be run once for each mount. A bunch of fun if you need 15-20 connections. A play-well-with-others/ enhanceable version of gvfs would be best. (Not sure I'm up to that level of hacking. 8-( ) So in the mean time I have created a bunch of mount points on my desktop, open a terminal window, and mount/unmount them as needed. \\||/ Rod -- > I'm trying to move a bunch of files off my desktop on to a server and > still be able to access them from my rover (eeePC 100 running Fedora 12) > and the workstation (CentOS 5). > > > I have two issues with this setup.
