<br>
I would like to be able to setup a bi-directional link between the my<br>
home folder in the EC2 cluster and some local folder on my laptop<br>
(e.g. without my working code and ipython notebook under git version<br>
control).<br>
<br>
I currently toying with unison [1] and I think I will be able to turn<br>
that into a starcluster plugin.<br>

I think it should also be quite easy to write a plugin to setup a<br>
reverse ssh tunnel and then use fuse's sshfs command to mount my<br>
laptop folder onto some mount point folder on the cluster (assuming<br>
ssh server is running on my laptop). However the link my break and I<br>
don't want to interrupt a long running computation on the cluster when<br>
I put my laptop to sleep, so the unison approach sounds more<br>
promising.<br>
<br>
Before going further, has anybody else worked on similar tools? Any<br>
tips or resources to share?<br>
