Linux – File writing issue with mounted ftp drive with curlftpfs

curlcurlftpfsftplinux

I have mounted an ftp account to my linux folder using below command

curlftpfs -o user=userid:password ip-address /home/temp -o kernel_cache,allow_other,direct_io,umask=0000,uid=1000,gid=1000

The problem i am having is whenever I am trying to save data to any file on this mounted folder i.e. any text file it gives "Input/output error , unable to flush data " , afterwards the file is created in folder but data is not written to the file

Is there anything i am missing with the command? I am using below curlftpfs version

curlftpfs 0.9.2 libcurl/7.29.0 fuse/2.9

I also found link below which shows some patch but there seems no documentation on how / where to apply it , any idea how to apply this patch?

have you tried to mount without any options? From provided link suggestion is to mount with default options : curlftpfs ftp://userid:password@ip-address /home/temp

Also, umask=0000 is too open. Try use 0022 or 0002. Try check /var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog or /var/log/kern.log for some info. "dmesg" command may be helpful too. This depends on distro you are using.

Could you please connect via native ftp-client and upload some files into remote server? May be userid has no write permissions?

Linux FTP folder permissions issue

Firstly I would make sure that the user was created by the ftp user itself just to eliminate any variables. if this is the case then try making sure that you have permission to view the directory itself:

 chgrp -R ftp <directory>

and then verifying with ls -l to make sure the group really is ftp

if you still have problems I would highly recommend using a web administration interface such as Webmin, as it automatically installs common servers such as http, mail, ftp, squid etc... and sets up their respective directories and users with no hassle.

Linux – Faster file writing on sshfs mounted directory

It's slower since it has to unpack them to a remote server. The speed difference is due to network delay, sshfs overhead, etc. For every file, you have to send the data to server2, wait for response, and then do it again for the next.

If you want to speed it up a bit*, upload the package to server1:/mnt and unpack it on server2.

*it will still be slower then on server1:/local_dir ofcourse
