I know the abbreviation will probably come to me 5 seconds after I post this comment, but may not for others. Arthur, what is “DW”?

So far so good. Win and Lin are playing nice with the file server, and I hear Mac will too (when it comes!) One of the weirdest things is DW: It keeps thinking the file has been updated on the server, and asks me if I want to reload it. This can happen several times a minute, or not at all for 10-15 mins. DW (MX - latest one to run under CrossOver Office) is the only software going through this tedious exercise in futility (the file has _not_ changed on the source)...

Installation on Debian is as easy as <code>apt-get install sshfs</code>, and adding your user to the group <code>fuse</code>. When I first started using <code>sshfs</code> over <code>smbfs</code>, I thought it was going to have absymal performance compared to <code>smbfs</code>, but it handles my streaming H.264 anime just fine. :) I have used smbfs in the past, but for me, sshfs wins hands-down because it is a FUSE filesystem, meaning you don’t need root privileges to mount it, and because it’s far easier to get SSH going over the internet (you can restrict it to keys only — no passwords) than SMB (security nightmare, no encryption).
