[ubuntu-uk] Exploiting A Nautilus Server Connection

2011-11-04 Thread Nigel Verity 

Hi
A bit of programming advice, please.
I routinely use Nautilus to copy files between machines and to manipulate 
remote file structures. Once I've connected to a remote server in Nautilus, can 
I then exploit that connection in a program to open files on that server, such 
as in an fopen() call?
Very grateful for any ideas.
Thanks

Gnome used to implement some remote access thought fuse, and the remote
disk is mounted on ~/.gvfs/SOMETHING.

I believe you can access to the remote file system using that path and
FUSE should provide de required magic to your fopen works as if it were
a local file.

I used sshfs [1] with FUSE [2] directly (without Nautilus), and it works
amazingly well.

Juan
