Mounting Remote Servers as a Drive on OS X With Mac FUSE and SSHFS

A handy tip for all you Mac OS X users out there: Have servers to deal with over SSH? You can download and install MacFUSE and SSHFS. Once you have installed both, you can fire up the SSHFS app. SSHFS can mount a remote server as a local drive on your mac. Then you can edit files in place and drag and drop files to transfer securely to the remote server.

It’s pretty cool. Thanks to the FUSE team for writing it. Thanks to Google for porting it to the Mac MacFUSE
