Does SSH mapping actually work?

dev support

Hi,

Just wondering… does a virtual mapping to an ssh location actually work because i can’t seem to get it working. Connects fine with every product i have accept within Lucee Admin it stays red with no error or explanation anywhere to get this working. Please advise!

Need this to have a remote disk from every of my servers because s3 is giving me to much of a headache these days.

Regards, Tjarko

you have to set this up at the OS level. Lucee (Tomcat) needs to be able to understand how to get to the mapping.

I don’t really follow, what do you mean by setting it up on OS level? According to the documentation a ssh://username.login@ip:port should work… but it does nothing.

Any help is greatly appreciated

lets start out with, what are you trying to accomplish.

I read what you stated as,

You want to have //someServer/RemoteFileSystem/mystuff

Lucee not on that server.

yes, and that can work between servers on the same network with a symbolic link no problem but i need it working with a remote server aka my development server.

According to the documentation ftp:// or ssh:// should work but both do nothing with Lucee 6.x but it could be my setup that is broken… if this works on other machines. I cannot seem to get it working on development, production or staging.

Regards!

first confirm you can ssh manually into the server from your local box or install, correct any permission issues

Note:
for stability and performance reasons, its still better and easier to mount the remote ssh device as a volume, their are many utilities and programs that do just this at the os level, winFS or sshfs are simple, enterprise used applications that do just that.

After you confirm your permissions are correct and the user you are connecting to the remote volume works from the local server to the target server.

on the local server create your mapping, and test code., if you set everything up correctly it should work.
