I’ve some 50GB free accounts on box.com since ages, exploiting some “promotions” launched when iOS was not having box.net app. The service could be suitable for the size and speed, but price is not that interesting.
I’ve also nudged cubbit.io for adding WebDAV access for the service. Hope that someone will nudge them soon for implement the protocol on their nice infrastructure.
I mean that NS tries to log in the server through SSH and launch some shell commands before going to SFTP. That implies that the storage is “smart” and allows that, which is not the case for most storage offers I believe.
…and with your suggestion SFTP chroot howto you can work around the problem and still use such servers?
I believe not, because I have to use credentials from the remote server.
Nope : that howto was server side (NS side), to lock a distant SFTP user into a home folder. Here the problem is storage side, which doesn’t offer features or rights that the NS client expects.
it seems that centos7 has to be updated since 2020
You might try a newer version of davfs2, e.g. 1.5.6. It will be able to handle situations where /etc/mtab is a symbolic link to a kernel file system and not writable.
Maybe another webdav provider? I use stack from transip (transip.nl/stack). Unfortunately their website in currently only available in Dutch, but with Goole translate it should be possible to get the idea of what it is and does.
I use it with WebDav for over 4 years now as backup location for my NethServer based VPS’s
ps: when you have an account, you can change the interface into English…
The price is for the first 6 months, after that it will revert to the ‘normal’ price of EUR5,- per month for 1TB diskspace.
btw, the service is based on owncloud…
