You must be on campus or using UBVPN to connect to UBfs.

Installing needed modules

Your distribution may have different commands or different names. This command should work on a typical Ubuntu-based distribution.

sudo apt-get install fuse sshfs

Creating a mount point

Create a folder, such as ubfs, into which to mount your UBfs files with the correct permissions:

sudo mkdir /ubfs 
sudo chmod a+rwx /ubfs

Mounting your UBfs Space

Mount UBfs to your folder /ubfs to access your UBfs space, :

sshfs ubitname@ubunix.buffalo.edu:/ubfs/myfiles/1st_UBIT_letter/2nd_UBIT_letter/UBITname/  /ubfs/

where ubitname is your UBITname and 1st_UBIT_letter and 2nd_UBIT_letter are the first and second letters of your UBITname.
