Syndicatefs

syndicatefs is a Syndicate User Gateway (UG) that implements a FUSE filesystem interface. It lets you mount a Syndicate volume as a local filesystem.

Prerequisites

You must first Install Syndicate.

If you do not have a user certificate and a gateway certificate, follow Create a User and Create a gateway guide.

Installation

Once Syndicate is installed, type:

apt-get install syndicate-core syndicatefs

Run

An example command is:

syndicatefs -u $SYNDICATE_USER -v $SYNDICATE_VOLUME -g $SYNDICATE_GATEWAY -d3 $MOUNT_PATH

Once the volume is successfully mounted, the volume’s data will be available at $MOUNT_PATH.

Options

• -f: run in foreground
• -d$DEBUG_LEVEL: set a debug level. For example, -d3 will set the debug level to 3 (very verbose).
• -u $SYNDICATE_USER: set a user. For anonymous access, use ANONYMOUS.
• -v $SYNDICATE_VOLUME: set a volume.
• -g $SYNDICATE_GATEWAY: set a gateway.
