About file browser

[satimis]

Hi folks,

OpenBSD4.0 amd64
Fvwm - light weight desktop


I'm running scp, ssh, sftp etc. to share files on LAN. There is no problem running command line to transfer files. However I can't browse files on another PC to transfer files with drag-n-drop because no File-Brower nor Konqueror installed. On googling I found amp-fbrowser;

SourceForge.net: A.M.P. File Browser


I can't find its package on ports;

# pkg_info showpkg amp-fbrowser

Error from ftp://ftp.it.net.au/mirrors/OpenBSD/4.0/packages/amd64/:
550 showpkg.tgz: No such file or directory
Error from ftp://ftp.it.net.au/mirrors/OpenBSD/4.0/packages/amd64/:
550 amp-fbrowser.tgz: No such file or directory

Please advise where to get it download other than on sourceforge site. Are there other suggestions on File-browser. TIA

I was thinking maybe you could use SSHFS to mount the remote machine locally, and then use rox-filer to browse/copy the files.

I do not know if SSHFS can be installed on OpenBSD, but I found some instructions for FreeBSD 6: rsync.net - http://www.rsync.net - info@rsync.net

P.S. If SSHFS thing does not work, try NFS.

Hi pavlo_7,

Tks for your advice and URL.

# pkg_info sshfs

Error from ftp://ftp.it.net.au/mirrors/OpenBSD/4.0/packages/amd64/:
550 sshfs.tgz: No such file or directory

It is not on the repo.

P.S. If SSHFS thing does not work, try NFS.

# pkg_info nfs

Error from ftp://ftp.it.net.au/mirrors/OpenBSD/4.0/packages/amd64/:
550 nfs.tgz: No such file or directory

It is also NOT on the repo.

OR
whether you meant "nfsshell-1.0.tgz"?

I found it on;
ftp://ftp.it.net.au/mirrors/OpenBSD/4.0/packages/amd64/

I can get it installed.

rox-filer-2.4.1 is also on;
ftp://ftp.it.net.au/mirrors/OpenBSD/4.0/packages/amd64/

Actually, I know very little about BSD. I simply assumed that nfs is available on OpenBSD by default.
I would first check if the nfs server already exists on the system:

ls /sbin/nfsd

Also, see maybe this faq can be of any help.
