@dafyre Installing sshfs and winfsp via choco is older than the ones from GitHub.

If you installed them via choco do this to mount at the host root directory or other directories.
https://github.com/billziss-gh/sshfs-win/issues/102

Host root directory
\\sshfs\[email protected]\..\..

Specific directory like /var/www
\\sshfs\[email protected]\..\..\var\www

Thanks for the pointer. I did install using choco. I'm able to make it work now.

Edit: Just to see if I can, I may go back and do straight installs.

As I said above with the latest version I mount the root directory with \\sshfs.r\[email protected]

However, if you want to mount another directory like /var/www you have to do:
\\sshfs.r\[email protected]\var\www\
The trailing \ is very important!
It just doesn't work without it if your path is more than one directory deep. You also need to use backslash and not the forward slash.

You can mount the filesystem of another server over SSH (using SFTP) both on linux and windows with sshfs (SSH File System).

On the Windows client you have to install:

• WinSfp - https://github.com/billziss-gh/winfsp/releases
• SSHFS-Win https://github.com/billziss-gh/sshfs-win/releases

To mount the server just map the network drive in the file explorer or with net use or whatever.
Mount the root directory with \\sshfs.r\[email protected]

On the linux client you mount it with the sshfs command.
Syntax: sshfs [[email protected]]hostname:[directory] mountpoint

Thought I'll share since I did this today and thought it might be useful for others as well.

I have Apache installed and it runs under the user www-data and the group www-data.
This is a Debian install so html files are by default located under /var/www/html and that is also the document root in Apache.

I was wondering what permission and owner should files like html, php etc have?

Also where should php include files be located? Somewhere under the document root (for example /var/www/html/include or outside (like /var/www/include/) or somewhere else?

@JaredBusch said in WP-CLI and database users:

So here is a good question. What kind of permissions do I need to setup on a MySQL account to let it have access to create new databases.

You can view permissions here:
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/privileges-provided.html#privileges-provided-summary

Usually those that can create new databases have full access, aka ALL PRIVILEGES.
That means they can do everything except grant others the same access.

If you just want to be able to create databases and tables, it's the CREATE privilege you need.

It's better to get a HVAC guy in and take some measurements. They measure the flow in the ventilation system and can tell you if it's enough or not. People die from CO but get headaches from high CO2 levels. Anyway, you trying to monitor the ventilation system is like the ventilation guy trying to monitor server performance.

If there is a real risk somewhere where people could die, you don't solve it with an alarm from amazon that you plug into the wall and hope it works and that someone will hear it and if they hear it they will know what it is and evacuate the building.

There are relatively few images on ML. The images that @StuartJordan showed are the ones that are http. They are profile images hosted on rackcdn.

Why are there images served over http on mangolassi.it?

Which of Windows built-in backup tools did you have in mind?

Then it was shared mailbox I was looking for so any response can come from the same email address.

Does Zoho have the same functionality as well? I found shared folders but that doesn't seem to work the same.

How do you handle email accounts that are for certain functions and handled by one of several employees, for instance [email protected]?

Can you access several inboxes at the same time from your personal login?
