RMount is a lot more robust than existing libraries and methods to create a remote connection to a cloud server. For example you would want to use Python to connect to a cloud storage such as S3 or a remote server via SSH and treat it like a local file-system.

Note

It has been a pain to write this library given how many things can go wrong when treating a cloud storage as a local file-system. For example, connection drops, or writing of large files can make the system unresponsive and lead to loss of data. The library is supposed to take care of such cases but it is always subject to unforeseen failures.

Feel free to try it out

or pip install rmount

    I normally do that as well, but some people prefer to mount s3 as a file system like mentioned in this post. I’ve had to use it for work when my boss required it. I’d personally use the CLI for everything.
