Linux mounts FTP space through curlftpfs and uses it as a folder

We all know that the hard drive provided by vps is usually relatively small. Sometimes we often back up certain folders in the vps. After the backup time is long, the hard drive is not enough. At this time, we can only choose manual or automatic Delete old backup files. Sometimes I think that the space of a virtual host is usually relatively large and the price is low. It would be great if I could buy a cheap virtual host and use the space inside for backup.

However, it really works.

We can link the virtual host space with the VPS by mounting FTP and use it freely within the VPS. And, it's pretty simple.

The method of ubabntu is as follows, and the method of centos7 is as follows:

Install curlftpfs

apt-get install curlftpfs

Create ftp directory

mkdir /home/ftp

Mount using curlftpfs command

curlftpfs -o codepage=utf8 ftp://username:password@127.0.0.1 /home/ftp

codepage: Coding method, usually utf8, you can also use gb2312

username: FTP username

password: FTP password

127.0.0.1: FTP address

/home/ftp: The path to mount to, which is the directory you just created in vps

It should be noted that if your FTP username contains special characters such as [@], please use [%40] instead of [@].

After the mounting is completed, as long as we enter the /home/ftp directory, we can see the files of our virtual host. At this time, any file we put into the /home/ftp directory will be considered. The file was transferred to our FTP space.

Uninstall the mount

fusermount -u /home/ftp

or

umount /home/ftp

Automatically mount at boot

However, after the mounting is completed, the mounting point will disappear every time we restart the system, because this requires us to join the automatic mounting at boot. Just run the following command. Remember to replace the data inside.

echo "curlftpfs -o codepage=utf8 ftp://username:password@127.0.0.1 /home/ftp" >> /etc/fstab

centos7 method:

need some time
