 It is in general not possible to access the disks of our Linux and Windows desktops and workstations directly. The closest one can get to mounting a desktop disk, is using the ''sshfs'' tools (also known as ''fuse-ssh''), available for Linux, Mac OS X and Windows. These tools create a filesystem access over ssh, so it is encrypted, and it uses your own user credentials to guarantee that no one else can access files this way. It is in general not possible to access the disks of our Linux and Windows desktops and workstations directly.

Once mounted, you can treat it like any other disk, and copy files to and from it. Of course the same can be done with data disks in stead of home. The ''idmap=user'' option is to make sure that your files show up as yours, when user ids don't match.

-  umount $HOME/lorentz+  fusermount -u $HOME/lorentz
