Thanks for the HFS tip!

I run cygwin + openssh on my Windows box. Then, I run sshfs on my NIT, and I mount my Windows drives onto my tablet.

The trickiest bit is getting the SSH server on the Windows box.

Here's the howto I used. This one looks OK too.

sshfs can be installed from Extras and then you just need to know the right command. On the tablet, as root:

Code:

sshfs username@123.123.123.123:/path/on/windows/server /home/user/MyDocs/winshare -o allow_other -p 2222

The 123.123.123.123 is of course the IP address of the server. If you have a nice name like myhomeserver.sytes.net, that will work too. The -p 2222 is the port I use to go through my home router. This lets me mount my stuff from anywhere in the world. I put my shares under MyDocs so they are visible from the OS2008 File Manager.
