Upgrading to OS X 10.6.3 broke the excellent MacFusion mounting app. For those like me, who depend upon SSHFS mount, there is a workaround using static sshfs mounting.
Building upon a post in the MacFusion-devel group, I put together a generic script to mount any sshfs host and possibly multiple of them at a time.
#!/bin/bash # Split the $1 for useful information usr=${1/@*/} usr=${usr:=$USER} [[ $1 =~ ":" ]] && dst=${1/*:/} srv=${1/*@/} srv=${srv/:$dst/} # If server name is missing, exit srv=${srv:?"Server name missing!"} # If dst folder is given, add it to mountpoint mnt=$srv${dst:+"_$dst"} # substitute _ for every / in the mount point name mnt=${mnt////_} # if dst is not given, make it . dst=${dst:=.} mkdir /Volumes/$mnt /Applications/Macfusion.app/Contents/PlugIns/sshfs.mfplugin/Contents/Resources/sshfs-static $usr@$srv:$dst /Volumes/$mnt
Put this script wherever you like and run it like
./mount_sshfs user@remotehost:/some/dir
Thanks to: renatojf for the original idea.
