Mounting server directories on your Mac through SSHFS with MacFUSE

First, install MacFUSE. Then download the applicable SSHFS part and put it into a directory in your path:

gunzip sshfs-static-leopard.gz
sudo mv sshfs-static-leopard /usr/local/bin/sshfs

Make a directory that you want to be a mount point:

mkdir ~/dw

Now you can use a command like this to connect:

sshfs dw@myserver.org: ~/dw -oauto_cache,reconnect,volname=DW

To disconnect, you can use the command:

umount ~/dw

Or go find the mount point and disconnect using Finder.
