Mounting an Ubuntu folder on OS-X
Since I mainly work at my MBP and my mediacenter is my main download machine, I needed a convenient way of accessing the machine, OS-X way. Here’s what I found: sshfs for Mac OS X. Installing is very easy: download, install the package and your done.
Mount the remote folder with:
/Applications/sshfs/bin/mount_sshfs remote_username@remote_server_address:remote_folder local_folder
Ofcourse, use your appropriate settings.
- Watch it: installing needs a reboot. In my case, I was downloading a large file and wanted to continue. Since I lack some patience
I wish I knew before installing…
Unmounting is just as easy:
umount local_folder
