(Sun Mar 03 2024 00:00:00 GMT+0200 (Eastern European Standard Time)) SSH is a multifaceted tool that can be used for more than terminal sessions to a remote server. With SSHFS, we can mount a remote filesystem.

Using WEBDAV to mount a NextCloud account on Ubuntu or macOS

(Sat Jan 20 2024 00:00:00 GMT+0200 (Eastern European Standard Time)) NextCloud, as an open source alternative to Google Drive, offers file storage on personally-owned cloud infrastructure. While we primarily access our files with the NextCoud web user interface, it supports the WEBDAV. That means we can easily mount a NextCloud account on our desktop computer as a filesystem.
