KioFuse allows you to mount remote directories into the root hierarchy of your local file system, thereby exposing KDE's advanced access capabilities (SSH, SAMBA/Windows, FTP, TAR/GZip/BZip2) to POSIX-compliant applications such as Firefox, OpenOffice, GNOME apps, shell utilities and more. Another important advantage of KioFuse is that it allows you to arrange the hierarchy of '''all''' your remote, archived and compressed files in whichever way makes sense to you.

KioFuse


KioFuse allows you to mount remote directories into the root hierarchy of your local file system, thereby exposing KDE's advanced access capabilities (SSH, SAMBA/Windows, FTP, TAR/GZip/BZip2, WebDav, etc) to POSIX-compliant applications such as Firefox, OpenOffice, GNOME apps, shell utilities and more. Another important advantage of KioFuse is that it allows you to arrange the hierarchy of all your remote, archived and compressed files in whichever way makes sense to you.

KioFuse works by acting as a bridge between KDE's KIO filesystem design and FUSE.

Installation

  • Install kdelibs (version 4.0 or higher) provided by your Operating System or compile it according to these KDE4 intructions.
  • Type the following commands into a terminal:

svn checkout svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/playground/libs/kiofuse cd kiofuse cmake . make

Running KioFuse

  • Mount with:

kiofuse --mountpoint <mountpoint> --URL <URL>

  • Unmount with:

fusermount -u <mountpoint>

Real-world example:

  1. Create the mount point

mkdir ~/linux-sources

  1. Download the linux kernel

wget http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.23.tar.bz2

  1. Mount the archive in ~/linux-sources

kiofuse --mountpoint ~/linux-sources --URL linux-2.6.23.tar.bz2

  1. Browse the source code without ever needing to unpack it!

dolphin ~/linux-sources
