Thanks for posting this, I don’t have much time to fix/test this. Would you mind reporting a bug on https://github.com/chmouel/ftp-cloudfs/issues and hopefully will be able to pick this up in the future..

Cheers,
Chmouel.

Thanks for this! I ran into a problem, though — python-cloudfiles expects programs that use it to implement markers and limits to handle more than 10,000 containers, but ftp-cloudfs doesn’t. That means that operations that get a list of containers only give the first 10,000.

(The same problem would happen with containers containing more than 10,000 files, but we don’t have that situation so I didn’t run into it!)

I’m insufficiently good at Python to fix that myself, unfortunately, or I’d give you a patch, so I hope you don’t mind a bug report instead.

(I do wish python-cloudfiles handled that limit itself — get_all_containers NOT returning ALL containers is silly.)

It actually worked like a charm from the moment I figured that out!

Thanks

It certainly sounds like a great package!

I can’t seem to get it right though…

I run it and it gives me:
2011-03-31 22:18:19,057 – INFO – Serving FTP on 127.0.0.1:8021

Then I try to connect to it from a remote machine but all I get is a “connection refused” message.

Should I plain-text my username/api-key over this FTP?

Any thoughts?

sudo ftpcloudfs -h

can you help? also the plugin for nautilus does not work, can you tell me how to use it?

Best regards.

I use ExpanDrive for local FTP drive access and to be able to get directly into CloundFiles this way would be just great.

The server has not been tested a lot when binding to a non local IP I apologize and it’s probably need more work on that.

Chmouel.


#!/bin/sh

case "$1" in
'start')
ftpcloudfs -p 21 -b my.actual.ip.address
;;
'stop')
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 { start | stop }"
;;
esac
exit 0


It doesn’t appear to work though – FTP clients can’t ftp in. Port 21 is definitely available and I am able to FTP in if I run in command line

ftpcloudfs -p 21 -b my.actual.ip.address

What did I miss? Thanks in advance.

I installed this utility on my server but im getting this error:

2010-03-18 12:30:28,539 - INFO - [username]@201.130.248.84:50368 Disconnected.


Do you have any idea? I installed python cloud files 1.5 and pyftpdlib 0.5.1 on python 2.4.3 CentOS.

Thanks!
