Thanks, Amit, for the tip - much appreciated! Setting up MacFUSE on your Mac OS X system.To unmount the directory once your work is done, use this command: $ fusermount -uFor example, in my case, I would use fusermount -u $PWD/dream I would do it by executing the following command: $ sshfs $PWD/dreamRemember that the dream directory must exist in your home folder and be owned by you, the user. Connect to one's SSH account using the sshfs command.įor example, say I want to mount the home directory on my dreamhost account, which has the domain name.Reboot, so that the new kernel extensions are loaded.

Once downloaded, install with this command: sudo tar -C / -jxvpf fuse-binaries-0.1.2Note that you might have to change the version number to match your download.

Using the references that he mentions, one can have one's SSH account appear as a directory - making it easy to handle and manage.

Amit Singh posted an entry on his blog that mentioned the MacFUSE project - the implementation of FUSE for Mac OS X.
