2 Mount FTP with curlftpfs
Mount FTP with curlftpfs to mnt directory.
> FTP_SERVER=$(hostname)-ftp-server.hiroom2.com > FTP_USERNAME=guest > FTP_PASSWORD=guest > mkdir mnt > curlftpfs -o user=${FTP_USERNAME} "${FTP_SERVER}" mnt Enter host password for user '${FTP_USERNME}':
You can set password with user=<username>:<password>.
> curlftpfs -o user=${FTP_USERNAME}:${FTP_PASSWORD} "${FTP_SERVER}" mnt
The password in ~/.netrc will be used with user=<username>:.
> cat <<EOF > ~/.netrc machine ${FTP_SERVER} login ${FTP_USERNAME} password ${FTP_PASSWORD} EOF > chmod 600 ~/.netrc > curlftpfs -o user=${FTP_USERNAME}: "${FTP_SERVER}" mnt
If not specifying user, you will connect as anonymous user.
> curlftpfs "${FTP_SERVER}" mnt
The allow_other allows access from other user. The allow_root allows access from root user. If not specifying allow_other and allow_root, mount point can be accessed by only user which runs mount.
> curlftpfs -o user=${FTP_USERNAME},allow_other "${FTP_SERVER}" mnt
3 Mount FTP on boot
Add mount entry to /etc/fstab. For avoiding mounting FTP before network initialization, you need to add _netdev option. For making x-systemd.automount to mount FTP, you need to add x-systemd.automount to option.
> OPT=_netdev,x-systemd.automount,allow_other > echo "curlftpfs#${FTP_USERNAME}:${FTP_PASSWORD}@${FTP_SERVER} /mnt fuse ${OPT} 0 0" | \ sudo tee -a /etc/fstab
Creating .netrc in /root can omit password.
> cat <<EOF | sudo tee /root/.netrc machine ${FTP_SERVER} login ${FTP_USERNAME} password ${FTP_PASSWORD} EOF > sudo chmod 600 /root/.netrc > echo "curlftpfs#${FTP_USERNAME}:@${FTP_SERVER} /mnt fuse ${OPT} 0 0" | \ sudo tee -a /etc/fstab
