Kurt Schwehr had a great post last month about making ssh tunneling easier.
I wonder how robust a combination of these methods with fuse (mounting
shares over an ssh connection) and autossh
would be. It could give you a way to put sensors in the field and
have them log data (or at least periodically upload data) to any
server within CCOM by simply writing to what looks like a local
part of the file system. Would want to do something smart when the
link is down, but it seems like it might be possible.
