How to mount the entire mobile device file system on Windows

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. |

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. |

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. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!ms...I/YguIEwrZ9x0J ******* With enough search terms, you can find anything you want.

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