how to mount remote FTP folder locally

Hi,

As we need to mount remote FTP folder on RHEL 5 (2.6.18-8.el5), tried 3 options but failed:

1. LUFS:

Downloaded from http://downloads.sourceforge.net/lufs/lufs-0.9.7.tar.gz?modtime=1067472000&big_mirror=0

Getting below errors during "make" (./configure was through)

2. FUSE:

Installed fuse-2.7.3-1.el5.rf and set CONFIG_FUSE_FS=y in kernel config file (rebooted the box). Not sure if i need to compile and rebuild the kernel.

but when running ./configure of curlftpfs-0.9.1, i get the below error:


checking for FUSE... configure: error: Package requirements (fuse >= 2.2) were not met:

No package 'fuse' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables FUSE_CFLAGS
and FUSE_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.


3. ftpfs:

downloaded it from http://ftpfs.sourceforge.net/ and tried compiling.

ftpmount was built OK but ftpfs wasn't (got errors while "make").
I think it could be due to this package upto kernel 2.4.x only


Please advise me which is the simplest way to proceed and how to achive.

Thanks
