Earlier this morning, I was annoyed that I could not drag and drop files from a remote SSH server in Nautilus to Google Drive in Chromium... Instead, I would have to drag and drop the files from the SSH server to a local directory, and then drag and drop the files from that local directory to Google Drive.

While complaining about this on IRC to my friends, I realized that the most likely issue was that Chromium is a Flatpak and thus does not have the appropriate permissions to read the files directly from the SSH mount.

After some searching, I found this comment on on the Flathub GitHub:

https://github.com/flathub/org.freecadweb.FreeCAD/issues/22#issuecomment-622644735

Basically, I can give applications filesystem access to "xdg-run/gvfs" and talk access to "org.gtk.vfs". To do so, I used FlatSeal as shown below.

With these settings in place, I can now drag and drop from a remote SSH server in Nautilus to Google Drive in Chromium directly!

Fast Android File Access via SSHFS over Wi-Fi or USB (MTP Alternative)

Introduction The MPT protocol used to access files via USB on your phone is not that efficient. This post shows you an alternative to MTP for accessing your files on your mobile phone. It works by installilng an SSH server on your phone using Termux 1 and then use it to transfer files from and to your phone. This can be done either via the Wi-Fi network or by tunneling the SSH traffic through the USB cable using adb.

I wrote a little tool to make running remote commands easier while using SSHFS mounts.

What happens if you move a file into a folder that is currently being moved (mv command) between drives (it’s multiple gigabytes, so takes a while)? Seems there’s a good chance it’s going to get deleted (or is that only if you’re using SSHFS?).

Mount Remote Directories with SSHFS on Ubuntu 24.04

This article covers the use of SSHFS to mount remote directories over SSH on Ubuntu 24.04. It highlights the simple installation process, ease of access to remote files, secure data transfer, and convenient unmounting. SSHFS streamlines workflows for document editing and file management by integrating remote files into the local system seamlessly.
