LOL

I recorded it on my Mac, with Camtasia Studio running inside an XP virtual machine running on VMWare Fusion, VNC'd into a Ubuntu VM also running on Fusion.

This was before Techsmith released Camtasia for Mac... :P

for some reason I can't find etc/fstab in vista.

The /etc/fstab file is only present in UNIX operating systems such as MacOS X, Linux, Solaris, etc...

In Windows systems with an MS-DOS subsystem, /etc/fstab doesn't exist. The equivalent of /etc/fstab in Windows is "network drives". When you mount a network drive in Windows, that is the same as mounting a file system in unix.

You can download utilities like WinSCP for Windows to access SFTP shares though.

Hope this clears things up. :)

Thanks,

Justin

sudo !! repeats last command with sudo permissions.

I'm a little confused while using opensuse. I can see sshfs and execute it, but to what i recognise, i have to do something to fstab first, ie make a user part of it or something, and for the likes of me, I cannot/do now know what to do. Besides, I do not see or can find the command fuse. Also, any idea how can i load up an ftp site with sshfs? Thanks for the video though :)
