I want to mount a FTP site on my Linux server.
I use the curlftpfs application to do this, but after a while, my mounted folder is unreachable, so I use umount -l 'dir name' to unmount and mount that folder again. Is it a bug in curlftpfs?
Or is there any alternative application like curlftpfs I should use?

  • It can either be an issue with the application or an issue with the network connection to the site. The only way you can be sure is to test things with another site.

  • Perhaps your ftp session times out?

  • Does dmesg show anything useful? If it can't reach the folder anymore there should be some kind of error.

    ... That said, ftp is a very insecure protocol and not great for filesystem work anyway. Do you have any viable alternatives?
