When mounting an ftp host: curlftpfs user:password@home.mnet-online.de /ftp-mnet/ the password is displayed by mount. How can I get rid of this?

I'd never heard of CurlFtpFs before, but I was intrigued, so I installed it an looked at the man page. This might be helpful: user=<user:password> Specify user and password to use for server authentication. Overrides netrc configuration. This implies that curlftpfs can use your ~/.netrc file as the source of the user name and password, which would keep it out of the ps output. If you're unfamiliar, it's described in the FAQ section at <http://curlftpfs.sourceforge.net/>. Frankly, this command should have the option of obscuring sensitive arguments. If you're going to use it a lot, you might consider requesting it as an upgrade. Or, if you're a programmer, it would not be hard to implement this yourself. Just overwrite the pertinent argv slots after copying them to a separate internal location.

Kind regards

Karl
