Recite CMS comes with two built-in mirror types. As mentioned previously, it is possible for developers to create their own mirror types, but in this guide we'll just cover the standard types that come with Recite CMS.

Mirror Type: File System

This type is used to send files from Recite CMS to another directory on the same server that Recite CMS is installed on. Although this appears somewhat restrictive at first, it is possible to leverage the file system to use other connection types (such as SFTP or FTP).

To use SFTP or FTP directly on your file system, you can use sshfs. More details can be found at http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/10/28/how-to-mount-a-remote-ssh-filesystem-using-sshfs/.

Alternatively, if the server resides on the same network you may be able to mount a network drive in a similar fashion.
