o Install a ssh server on your N900
o if you want to be more secure follow this guide to change to public key based login: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...318#post484318

This step is not absolutely mandatory, however when not configuring to login a user on the N900 but as root (which is the default you get after an install of ssh-server), your files on the N900 will always be owned by root and you need tho chown them so the user does not encounter possible access right problems.

o install sshfs on you computer (no idea what to do for that on windows, I only have linux since years)
o mount any directory from the n900 to your computer by running on the computer:

If you have not configured to be able to login as user on N900 (149.44.171.3 is the ip of my N900 atm):
user@Laptop-> mkdir ~/N900
user@Laptop-> sshfs root@149.44.171.3/home/user/MyDocs ~/N900


Now you should be able to access MyDocs on N900 via ~/N900 on your computer.

If you have configured user access to the N900 via ssh, the commands are:

user@Laptop-> mkdir ~/N900
user@Laptop-> sshfs user@149.44.171.3/home/user/MyDocs ~/N900
