How to mount your N.ETHZ home directory
On our managed Linux workstations
Using SSHFS/SFTP
If you want to mount your N.ETHZ home directory on our managed Linux workstations you can do this using sshfs:
mkdir NETHZ
sshfs xyz@hg.n.ethz.ch: NETHZ
cd NETHZ
xyz is your N.ETHZ user name.
Unmounting works with fusermount -u, e.g.
cd ..
fusermount -u NETHZ
See also the according documentation by the central IT services (Informatikdienste).
Alternatives: sftp or smbclient
Alternatively you can also use the SSH-based sftp or the SMB based
`smbclient which both have an ftp-like command-line to access files
and directories:
SFTP
sftp xyz@hg.n.ethz.ch
smbclient
$ smbclient -U 'd\xyz' //d.ethz.ch/dfs/users
smb: \> cd all/xyz
On your own Linux machine
