Mounting/unmounting remote file system via sshfs
# create a local directory on a linux machine
sudo mkdir -p /mnt/Biowikifarm
# change username: ownership settings ?must be the same as on the remote system
chown yourusername-on-the-biowikifarm /mnt/Biowikifarm/
# mount the remote system; needs sshfs (ubuntu: apt-get install sshfs)
sshfs yourusername-on-the-biowikifarm@biowikifarm.net:/ /mnt/Biowikifarm/
# now you can browse and save from within your local computer
# unmount the remote system on your local machine
fusermount -u /mnt/Biowikifarm/
Note that any other user group on the wiki is not shown on your local computer, but just group ID-numbers. But you can create an identical user group on your local machine with the same group ID.
