Create symbolic link of remote location
Hi All,
Is it possible to create a symbolic link to a file/dir on a remote server.
No NFS or VPN is possible.
Only http or ftp
thanks

It is possible using ftpfs. AFAIK, this filesystem is now included in lufs (Linux User File System, or something like that).
If you have constant internet access, it is enough. Else, I suppose you'll also have to use diald, or an equivalent.
Yves.

How is that possible? It is just a kernel patch for the client. As far as the server is concerned, nothing changes.

My site host gives me ssh and most common linux commands, but that's it.
What I want to do is link directories to my host, from my webspace provides by my ISP.
Reason why is my phpwebalbum application and storage space

I see... You don't have root privileges on the machine where links are needed...
Maybe you can ask your administrator to add ftpfs (or lufs) support to their machine.
I don't know of another solution.
Yves.
