I am trying to mount my music folder from another computer on my network

  • 0

I am trying to mount my music folder from another computer on my network using sshfs. The folder mounts correctly and I can access the files using the terminal. However, when I try to update my MPD library using ncmpcpp I get a permission denied error in mpd.log. When the filesystem is not mounted to the music folder is can be accessed by mpd. What can I do to the folder so that mpd can see it?
Thanks

    MPD is probably not running under the same user account that you used to mount the sshfs filesystem.

    See the FUSE FAQ and the sshfs FAQ, then if you’re comfortable with the security risks add the user_allow_other option to /etc/fuse.conf and the -o allow_other option to the mount command.
