Thanks from me too! To Chandima for posting this useful guide.
Yes, once I made the replacement sshfs-static executable and removed / renamed sshnodelay.so it all worked great for me on Snow Leopard without the need to compile or anything too messy!

Maybe it’s worth pointing out that if you want to see directories other than your home folder – /var/www say – then do fill in the SSH >> Path text field, otherwise you won’t be able to navigate to /var/www from your home directory using a Mac OS X Finder window.
Probably already obvious to all!

A tip for people with this same issue – step three in this guide broke my macfusion(’s ability to mount to ssh) until I changed the permissions on sshfs-static to 777.

Thanks Chandima to posting this useful guide!
And especially thanks for posting how to check the version # of sshfs because that’s what gave me the tip on how to fix. Previously I had no permission to check the new version.

I now have sshfs v 2.2 working.
I just downloaded the newest version of MacFusion today, in June 2010. I don’t understand why they don’t just update the version of ssh within the app. Is MacFusion still in development?

If you’re trying to follow these instructions on Snow Leopard and are having problems, follow this link, it worked for me:

@Fabbe what is the error in the logs? If it is a sshnodelay.so error, remove it from the MacFusion install.

Just cant get it up and running. Snow leopard, fresh install, tried 2.1.5 tried 2.1.7, tried macfustion, tried without macfusion. Wished it was a bit more userfriendly and informative in the logs.

MacFUSE 2.1.7 for 64 bit Snow Leopard…

Compile it yourself …

Or download and install precompiled binary…

> I opened up the Terminal app, changed directory to the parent folder off sshfs-static

Let Leopard do its magic. Just drag the sshfs-static file into a terminal window, type “-V” (without quotes) and hit enter. In the same vein, you can drag folders into terminal as well…..

Enjoy! Also, THANKS FOR THIS ARTICLE! ^_^

snow leopard and macfusion: larry’s comment made the day for me! if you run into the sshnodelay.so prolem, just rename/delete the library. larry, THANK YOU!

The sshfs binary in MacFusion seemed to be OK. The problem is that it tries to load the sshnodelay.so library, which seems to be incompatible with SL. If you rename/delete that library, then it seemed to work fine.

Yea! looks like @Appel found the solution to the missing finder icon problem – had me completely stumped!!! Thanks for the kind words and your contribution is greatly appreciated.
