Author combining remote unix folder and my local unix folder

Hi.

After searching google and usenet I haven't found my answer...

I have a unix box at work, with lots of my work on it. I use
mepis(linux) at home.

I can access my work box through ssh/rsh but I was wondering if there
was a way of mounting the remote filesystem onto my own as though it
were part of my filesystem. (Sorry, I am relatively new to unix/linux)

It's not a big deal if not, but would be pretty handy if it were
possible.

Cheers!

Mitch.

Thanks! I'll look into it when I get home and assuming I do it
tonight, post back with results.

Thanks again.

If you had root access on the remote box, you could use NFS through a
VPN or an ssh tunnel, but you probably don't. You can easily scp files
from one box to the other.

Unsurprisingly I don't have root on the server.
Cheers though.

It wouldn't install. Though I think thats probably down to something
my end.

Cheers though!
