Re: [GMG-Devel] Remote Media Storage?

[Christopher Allan Webber]

Yes, it's possible.  Two options, more or less:
 - ssfs/ftp mount via FUSE is straightforward as in terms of
   configuration... not sure how stable that is, sounds like it would
   work.  You could set that as a public storage system.
 - Implement a storage system to do what you want.  We already have one
   for openstack swift.  It would be interesting to have some other ones
   that copied around files via commands like scp explicitly.
