# curlftpfs/cfg - "Build" settings for package
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
[technotes]
1. The source tarball used by this package has been renamed.
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Warning: "cd" commands in "curlftpfs" may be very slow. "ls" com-
mands may be a bit faster.
#---------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Additionally, "curlftpfs" releases are often prone to glitches. Ex-
amples:
"curlftpfs" release 0.8 has a bug that causes lock-ups. Releases 0.7
and 0.9.1 don't seem to have the bug.
"curlftpfs" 0.7 and 0.9.1 aren't compatible with "curl" 7.16.3. Speci-
fically, if "curl" 7.16.3 is used, "curlftpfs" aborts when "write" op-
erations are done. It's not clear if the problem is on "curlftpfs's"
side or "curl's" side.
"curl" 7.17.1 and "curlftpfs" 0.9.1 have been tested together. This
combination doesn't demonstrate the "write" problem, but it produces a
different problem (specifically, intermittent "Permission denied" er-
rors).
If you use "curl" 7.18.2 with "curlftpfs" 0.9.1, "curlftpfs" hangs for
a long time after it's started. Additionally, the intermittent "Per-
mission denied" messages still occur.
Resolution:
If "curl" 7.19.2 or above is used with "curlftpfs" SVN-0102, "read"
operations seem to work correctly. "Write" operations don't work, but
a patch has been constructed.
Note: The patch isn't perfect. For example, "cp" commands applied to
a "curlftpfs"-mounted filesystem may produce "File not found" error
messages with respect to the target pathname whether or the commands
are successful.

4. Sample commands.
To mount an anonymous-FTP site:
mkdir -p localdir
curlftpfs ftp://ftp.sunet.se/ localdir
cd localdir
ls -l
To mount a private FTP site:
mkdir -p localdir
curlftpfs -o user=NAME:PASSWORD ftp://FTPSITE/ localdir
cd localdir
ls -l
# Replace NAME and PASSWORD with account name and password
# Replace FTPSITE with the appropriate server hostname
To unmount a site:
fusermount -u localdir
or
umount localdir
