Using Unison and FTP hosts

Install unison (and unison-gtk) and curlftpfs:
```
aptitude install curlftpfs unison unison-gtk
```
Setup a local mount path:
```
mkdir /mnt/shared
```
Modify /etc/fstab to contain the fuse entry:
```
curlftpfs#user:password@host /mnt/shared fuse rw,uid=1000,user,noauto,allow_other 0 0
```
Replace uid=1000 with the number of your primary user. Get this number from /etc/passwd: grep USER /etc/passwd. The first number is the user ID.
Create a synchronization directory in your home: mkdir ~/syn
Start unison: unison-gtk and specify ~/syn as local and /mnt/shared as remote site.
