As a side product while preparing the infrastructure for a SVN free, plain http based terrasync, Torsten [1]developed a little tool to mount the terrasync scenery directly as a remote file system.

It uses curl for the network communication and fuse for the user space file system api. Far from being perfect, it seems to be working nicely.

Pros:

  • No sync, no files stored on your hard drive
  • Always up-to-date data Fat-free

Cons:

  • No sync, no files stored locally on your hard drive
  • Needs a good internet connection Linux only (should be under pros?)

Feedback, improvements and patches welcome.
