At last! Mount SSH in the Finder! #I've been looking for a way to mount SSH or SFTP in OS X's Finder for several weeks. Sure, you can tunnel AFP over SSH if you are connecting to a server that offers AFP (mine doesn't). OS X's "Connect to Server..." feature does not support SFTP or SSH, and SFTPDrive for OS X has not been released. Now, thanks to Amit Singh and Google (and of course the original FUSE team), MacFUSE has made it possible! Of course, it can do a whole lot more than just SSHFS (read/write NTFS, UnionFS support, etc), but being able to securely mount a remote Linux server in the Finder is awesome.
Thomas Stromberg has a good overview of using MacFUSE and SSHFS, but I needed to make a few changes before it worked for me:
- Download the binary: fuse-binaries-0.1.0b006.tar.bz2
- Install: $ sudo tar -C / -jxvpf fuse-binaries-0.1.0b006.tar.bz2
- Attempting to run sshfs returned the error "fuse: failed to exec mount program: No such file or directory", since /usr/local/bin is not in Tiger's default PATH. To remedy this:
$ export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
Alternatively, you could include it in /etc/profile - Run: $ sshfs username@host:/some/remote/directory /some/local/mount/point -o ping_diskarb,volname=some_volume_name,reconnect
That's it! The remote server is now accessible via the Finder:

Cannot access file shares from Vista #If you are running Vista and cannot access Windows file shares on your NAS or other *nix-powered 'puter, it may be due to Vista's insistence on NTLMv2 authentication (which is not supported by older versions of Samba). To restore access you can either upgrade Samba (version 3.0.22 or higher), or force Vista to use the less secure NTLM protocol when necessary:
- Start > Run > secpol.msc (BTW, "Run" is missing from the Start menu in Vista by default. You can add it by right clicking on the Start button, choosing Properties, then Customize, etc, or just use Win key + R to launch it. You can also use the "Start Search" box just like "Run" if you prefer.)
- Local Policies > Security Options > Network Security: LAN Manager authentication level
- Change "Send NTLMv2 response only" to "Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated"

The Businessman & The Fisherman #One day a rich businessman was surprised to find a fisherman lazily smoking a pipe and lying on the riverbank beside his boat.
"Why aren't you out fishing?" said the businessman.
"Because I caught enough fish for one day," said the fisherman.
"Why don't you catch some more?"
"What would I do with them?"
"Earn more money. With that you could buy a motor for your boat so you could go into deeper waters and catch more fish. Then you would have enough money to buy nets. These would bring you more fish and more money. Soon you would have enough money to own two boats, maybe even a fleet of boats. Then you would be a rich man like me."
"What would I do then?"
"Then you could really enjoy life."
"What do you think I am doing right now?"
