I cannot connect to UBfs using SSHFS on Linux

You must be using one of the following to use SSHFS to access UBfs:

• a campus IP address
• eduroam for wireless connections at UB
• the VPN Client AnyConnect from off campus

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

sudo apt-get install sshfs

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

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.
