Grab the latest version from the <a href=\"http:\/\/code.google.com\/p\/macfuse\/\" target=\"_blank\">Mac Fuse homepage<\/a> or even better install <a href=\"http:\/\/macntfs-3g.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">NTFS-3G<\/a>, which allows you to write to NTFS partitions (and also installs the latest Mac Fuse version). After Mac Fuse was installed you need to grab the <a href=\"http:\/\/code.google.com\/p\/macfuse\/wiki\/MACFUSE_FS_SSHFS\" target=\"_blank\">sshfs binaries<\/a> for Leopard or Tiger. Unpack the binary and move it into a folder which is in the PATH environment variable. E.g. I put it in \/Users\/username\/bin. Then start Terminal and type &#8216;nano $HOME\/.profile&#8217;. Enter the line<\/p>\n<pre>export PATH=$HOME\/bin:$PATH<\/pre>\n<p>to save with ctrl-o. Restart the Terminal application. Then create a directory and connect via sshfs, e.g.<\/p>\n<pre class=\"brush: jscript; title: ; notranslate\" title=\"\">\r\nmkdir remote\r\nsshfs user@host:\/some\/directory remote -oauto_cache,reconnect,volname=&lt;volname&gt;\r\n<\/pre>\n<p>&lt;volname&gt; is the name of the mounted volume. You&#8217;ll be asked for the password and then the remote folder is available via the mount point.
