On your own server you can easily mount an FTP storage space.

To be able to mount the cloud memory without problems it is necessary to install the curlftpfs package first:

Debian / Ubuntu:

[code language=”bash”]apt-get install curlftpfs[/code]

CentOS, Fedora, openSUSE:

[code language=”bash”]yum install curlftpfs[/code]

Then you have to create a local directory where you want to mount the FTP memory.

[code language=”bash”]mkdir /mnt/ftpshare[/code]

To store the FTP access data safely, create the file /root/.netrc.

[code language=”bash”]touch /root/.netrc[/code]

Now fill the file with the following content (use either vi, nano over SSH or an editor over SFTP):

[code language=”bash”]
machine srXX.firestorm.ch (hostname or IP)
login web00 (FTP username)
password 12345 (FTP password)
[//code]

Now we give the created file only the most necessary rights so that this file can not be read by any undermined users:

[code language="bash"]chmod 600 /root/.netrc[/code]

Next, add the following line to the end of /etc/fstab (use the hostname and directory you set in the previous step):

[code language=”bash”]curlftpfs#srXX.firestorm.ch /mnt/ftpshare fuse allow_other,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=0022 0 0[/code]

The last step is to run the following command to activate the changes:

[code language=”bash”]mount -a[/code]
