Here's my situation (presumably relevant to this thread): I have a laptop and a couple of servers and root permissions on all of them, so I can set something up if someone has a good plan. I run Ubuntu on all three of these machines. I'd like to set it up so that the drives on both servers are mounted by both servers and by my laptop. If I take my laptop to the U, to my home WiFi network, or the coffee shop, or anywhere else, I'd like to automatically mount the drives on those servers. I've been using sshfs. I assume it's as secure as ssh, so pretty safe, but is there another way that's better than sshfs? Is something else faster than sshfs but without sacrificing security? Mike
