PyFtpfs is a Python-based tool that allows you to mount FTP file systems using FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace), enabling interaction with remote FTP servers as if they were local file systems.
⚠️ This project is under development and not yet recommended for production use.
- Mount a remote FTP server as a local filesystem.
- Written in Python and built on top of FUSE.
- Seamlessly interact with FTP files via local paths after mounting.
Before installing and using PyFtpfs, make sure you have:
- Python (version 3.7+ recommended).
