sshfs on vps

[Pooya]

Hi,

I'm new to rapidvps and so far it's been great, let see how it goes.

Now I am trying to see if I can get sshfs to work on my machine. Before I brick my vps let see if anybody else here has done this before. Or maybe it is not possible at all. So I am trying to mount a remote directory over ssh using Fuse and SSH. I am an Debian 4 and installed sshfs easily but now it says:
fusermount: failed to open /dev/fuse: Permission denied

According to: http://wiki.openvz.org/FUSE it seems like we should be able to use fuse but I can't seem to use that vzctl command. Does that need a kernel module or anything?

Just for the record, thanks to the support, it is fixed now.

oops, I missed this thread- sorry for that. yea we got the fuse rocking via support desk.

Great! ... for the rest of us :), what's the trick?

File: `/dev/fuse'

Hi, for right now create a support incident. I am working on streamling fuse support..

So, what's FUSE actually do?

[Rick]

Fuse allows you to mount all sorts of interesting and useful filesystems in your vps. the most common use is to mount a directory over ssh, from a remote vps or any server on the net. its quite exciting.
