macFUSE ssh tutorial

[sourceninja]

Hey, in case you guys have ever wanted to use a ssh connection like any other network share in finder I just wanted to inform you of macFUSE. I wrote a quick little howto on it and stuck it on my blog. I'm really not trying to pimp my blog and I have no ads on it. I just hate writing the same info in a lot of places so it's easiest to just link to my blog.

I recently discovered macFUSE, which is funny because I've been using FUSE on linux for a while now.

Hope it helps you new mac users who want NTFS access or to use something no traditional like SSH or youtube as a filesystem.

FUSE is definitely cool. However, I would recommend staying away from NTFS-3g unless you absolutely must write to NTFS from your Mac. It is very, very slow compared to the OSX-native read-only support.

That's not to take away from the project, I still use it on my machine. It's just surprising at first.

Yea, NTFS can be slow. SSH is fairly fast and with my vpn keeps a nice mounted on bootup folder that hooks right to my dev server at work
