NFS or betta FS recommendation

[statik213]

I need to mount a few work directories from my work computer on my computer at home. I have SSH access to my machine at work, can I tunnel NFS over SSH and then mount the directories locally? A link to a good guide would be appreciated.

I have a cable connection with 6000/384 kbps (down/up) and my work has a funky radio internet connection with 512/128 kbps. I'll be working with a lot of small files (basically accessing CVS), are there specific FSs that are good for this sort of a scenario?

Thanks!

You know, you could try skipping NFS altogether and using FUSE + SSHfs. Also, if by "basically accessing CVS" you mean "only accessing CVS", you can configure CVS to use SSH in place of RSH.

Don't know if this will help, but I found this.

OK, i've been checking up SSHFS and it looks pretty neat. wouldn't performance be better with it?
