SSH Sync not available #205

Open obilodeau opened 8 years ago

obilodeau commented 8 years ago

A very useful feature in Tomboy is the SSH Sync that lets you sync your notes with your own server. It works quite well. It would be great if we could use that feature in Tomdroid as well, and as of know, there is no simple interface in the stable version to do that.

In Tomboy, the method employed is the sshfs sync. On Tomdroid, similar behavior is currently possible using paid, proprietary apps like SSHFS Android (available on the Play Store). It would make sense for users not to have to use non-free software to use all of Tomboy's functionality on Tomdroid.

(by mjovanovic) I just found this! SSHFS mounting is currently available as free software for Android here: https://github.com/l3iggs/android_external_sshfs

The app is barely usable, because it doesn't reconnect after loss of network/IP address change. This might be addressed by the sync mechanism in Tomdroid, though.
