Access FTP sites using the filer

Can I access FTP sites using the filer?

Yes, if you can make them appear as part of the filesystem. Some projects
that allow this include:

Note that AVFS is turned on on a per-process basis. So make sure you turn it on in the script that runs ROX-Filer (eg, ROX-Session/RunROX), not something that starts later (like your .zshrc file, which will only affect things started from the shell).

RunROX

If you are using ROX-Session it is in that directory, but do not edit it there. Follow the instructions in the top of the file.

If you are not using ROX-Session, there won't be a RunROX to edit.

RunROX

I'm using rox session, but I can't find a RunROX file.

Is that the file you were referring to?

I looked in the config, etc folder

It's inside the ROX-Session app directory. More about AppDirs here

RunROX

There's no file called "RunROX" in the ROX-Session app directory, but there is the usual AppRun.

Is that the one?

RunROX w/ Zero Install

Submitted by Anonymous on Mon, 2008-05-12 11:07.

Your ROX-Session may be a Zero Install launcher rather than the application itself. In that case:

Right-click on ROX-Session.
Click on Help.
Click Up.

You should see the RunROX script there.

RunROX w/ Zero Install

Submitted by Mark Williams on Mon, 2008-05-12 11:59.

I think it was part of the rox4debian package I downloaded. But, yes, RunROX is where you said it would be.

Here's the text

#!/bin/sh

# This gets run after ROX-Session is loaded and running as your session
# manager, before Login is run.
#
# It is used to run ROX-Filer. If this process terminates, ROX-Session will
# offer to rerun it.
#
# $1 is the ROX-Session application directory.
#
# If you want to modify this file, you should first copy it as
# /ROX-Session/RunROX so that upgrading ROX-Session will not overwrite
# your changes. This also allows per-user modifications.

if [ ! -n "$XDG_CONFIG_DIRS" ]; then
XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/etc/xdg
fi
if [ ! -n "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME" ]; then
XDG_CONFIG_HOME="$HOME/.config"
fi
IFS=":"

# Load ROX-Filer with a panel and a pinboard set up.
for DIR in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS; do
PANEL="$DIR/rox.sourceforge.net/ROX-Filer/pan_Default"
if [ -f "$PANEL" ]; then
break;
fi;
PANEL="";
done

if [ -z "$PANEL" ]; then
"$1/SetupPanel" "$1" "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME"
fi

# -n is needed to stop the filer going into the background, causing
# ROX-Session to offer to restart it... (-S turns on -n automatically)

# Try to run it though Zero Install...
if [ -x "`which 0launch`" ]; then
exec 0launch http://rox.sourceforge.net/2005/interfaces/ROX-Filer -S
fi

# Fallback to a manual installation
exec rox -S

How do I turn avfs on?
