sshfs howto (ssh filesystem) - mount mac shares

[dLp]

i know this can be expanded upon vastly. this is an oversimplified, and quick instruction write up to get sshfs installed, up, and running. (reason i am writing this, is several have contacted me asking)

i apologize for the crappy instructions beforehand. im no teacher.

su for the below

step 1
download fuse and sshfs.

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... _id=140425

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... _id=132802

step 2
unarchive both files. open up terminal and cd to their respective directories.

step 3
compile both fuse and sshfs using (fuse, then sshfs)

./configure
make
make install

step 4
create a directory for your mount point
mkdir /home/username/mounts
make sure to chown to your user:group and read/write

step 5
vim /etc/ld.so.conf
add the line: /usr/local/lib
save and close


thats it.
you can now mount remote filesystems that have ssh enabled.

sshfs username@machinename:/path/to/share /path/to/your/mountpoint
