I am trying to mount a FTP as filesystem in
debian using curlftpfs. What I get after running
curlftpfs -o allow_other username:
[email protected] /mnt/myftp/
is just:
fuse: failed to open /dev/fuse: Permission denied
even when run as root. What am I doing wrong? (curlftpfs is in version curlftpfs 0.9.2 libcurl/7.21.0 fuse/2.8)
edit:
When I write ls -lah /dev/fuse, I see
crw-rw---- 1 root fuse 10, 229 Apr 9 00:34 /dev/fuse
...but even when I add both myself and user root to group fuse, neither me (as a user) or user root can mount ftp, I still see
fuse: failed to open /dev/fuse: Permission denied
edit2:
Even if I write this fairly insecure and crazy line:
sudo chmod a+rwx /dev/fuse
I still get the permission denied message. Which permissions could be denied?
edit3:
I forgot to mention I am on VPS with OpenVZ. I thought that there is no issue with this, but apparently, there is! I am adding the resolution as the answer.
