Mount SSH/SFTP or FTP accounts as if they were local files.

MacFusion is an open source Mac application that allows you to work with files on servers across the internet, as if they were sitting on your computer. Macfusion presents a Volume in Finder, letting you use your favorite Mac applications to work with them. Macfusion works with SSH/SFTP and FTP servers.

More generally, Macfusion is a front-end to Gogole's MacFUSE software. Macfusion provides a plugin API to enable the creation of plugins for other FUSE filesystems.

To get it to work under Snow Leopard, increase time-out interval and refer to this post:

Is this still being maintained? MacFuse is currently 1.5.1 and the latest MacFusion is for use with MacFuse core 1.1 . . .

V. 1.2 Beta 3 hangs my system when I try to mount an ftp location. I then have to restart Mac OS by keeping the reset button down.
It did this twice on two different locations, accessed via the 'favorites' menu.
I don't have the time to investigate more, sorry. :)

Just a note to everyone ...
If you have problems with write access using FTP or SSH, please try adding
"-odefer_auth" in the advanced options, without the quotes. This has fixed many issues with FTP and SSH.

Just a note for you all: If you were having issues with storing of passwords in keychain under SSH or FTP accounts, I highly recommend you give the new beta a try. It has fixed many issues related to storing passwords. It can be found at the google group for MacFusion, linked off the MacFusion website.

Pretty much K.I.S.S. I love it's simplicity and although I'm still working with Fetch and Transmit, I heart this one very much.

This isn't going to kill Fetch/Transmit/Cyberduck/YummyFTP/Fugu <insert your FTP client of choice> just yet...but with a little more time and a little more work, this could be many people's FTP access program of choice.

And for the record, I have the same problems jeby is having with my own university's FTP account; it'll mount my DriveHQ FTP account just fine, and it'll mount my university's online storage account via SSH, but not via FTP.

jeby ... thanks for letting me know about this bug. There are several people noting FTP connection issues of various sorts. The easiest way for me to fix this is if you can send me credentials for a limited account of some sort on your site (in private email of course). That way, I could quickly reproduce and narrow down the cause. I realize this is alot to ask (the site may be secure for a reason!), so if you can't give me a test account please contact me by email and I'll try to work through the debugging with you.

Glad you all like MacFusion :) Suggestions/bug reports/requests of all sorts welcome .. here, in the google group, or to my email.
