In ubuntu 12.04 there is a connect to server in the global file menu. I use this to connect to my websites ftp server. Is there a command to do this from the terminal?

How about ftp? – Kevin Aug 4 '12 at 18:33
I tried ftp but I would like a one line function that mounts the folder – BmanDesigns Aug 4 '12 at 18:51

How about gvfs-mount, if you like the way nautilus handles things:

gvfs-mount 'ftp://youruser@yourserver.com/path/'

You will find the respective path mounted in $HOME/.gvfs/.

For more information use

gvfs-mount --help

as there is no man page. dpkg -L gvfs-bin will give you all the gvfs-tools that you can use from commandline. And also Google is your friend.

Why not filezilla you just enter your info and it saves it for any other time needing to login plus it is easy to work.
