The first important question, since I know Linux, a bit, is whether this
can be done on Linux, and the answer is yes, but differently.

The next important question, since I don't know Macs all that much, is
whether this can be done on the Mac.

How does the Mac inherently mount mobile devices over the LAN?


Most linux distros may already include the required programs for FTP
mounting, but AFAIK it can only be done via terminal. Only a few linux
distros may provide GUI based FTP mounting which is part of the linux GUI
shell (i.e. not as a separate program).

I think Mac may not even have that capability built in at all, or includes
the required command line program. So you may need to get it separately.

Some people seem to have a horribly slanted and silly view of everything
Apple. macOS has had the capability to access FTP servers since the
initial release.

FTP access is not the issue. Mounting does.

same answer.

why do people who are unfamiliar with macs think they know more than
those who use them every single day?

keep in mind that ftp was never designed to be mounted as a remote file
system. although it can be done, it's usually the wrong choice.

There's a Linux example. It can't be "real", because distro people hate
to put plaintext password schemes in production systems.

https://linuxconfig.org/mount-remote...nux-filesystem

apt-get install curlftpfs

*******

There's a fuse file system extender for MacOSX.

https://osxfuse.github.io/

https://www.macworld.com/article/285...with-fuse.html

An example here mentions curlftpfs.

With enough search terms, you can find anything you want.

This tutorial was posted to the Android newsgroup, but it also applies to
mounting the iOS file systems over the WiFi LAN (i.e., no cable) as well to
Windows (and Linux).

You can have one drive letter assigned to each mobile device in your house,

Only if you have less than 27 drives and devices connected at the same
time. ;-)



Why would anyone want to mount a computer?
If I'm gonna mount anything, it's gonna be a nice looking woman!
