Project Summary

Overviewbindfs is a FUSE filesystem for mounting a directory to another location, similarly to mount --bind. The permissions inside the mountpoint can be altered using various rules.

ExamplesHere are some examples of what bindfs can do for you:

Make a directory read-only. bindfs --perms=a-w somedir somedir
Share a directory with some other users without modifying /etc/group. bindfs --mirror-only=joe,bob,@wheel ~/some/dir shared
Make your website available to the webserver process read-only. bindfs --owner=www --perms=0000:u=rD ~/stuff/website ~/public_html
Make all new files uploaded to an FTP share owned by you and seen by everyone. bindfs --create-for-user=me --create-with-perms=u+rw,a+rD /var/ftp/uploads /var/ftp/uploads

Manualbindfs --help man 1 bindfs Supportbindfs has been tested on Linux 2.4/2.6 with fuse 2.5.3+ as well as Mac OS X 10.5 with MacFUSE. Please tell me if you have tried it on another platform, such as FreeBSD.

Basic installation instructions are available.
