Windows users need not apply. Though it’s been out for a while, I finally looked into MacFuse, which allows one to implement various file systems into OS X. Ported from Linux by Google, there are already many file systems supported. The ones that interest myself happen to be sshfs and ftpfs.

As you can see in my cluttered screenshot below, I used the sshfs along with MacFusion to mount my Dreamhost account for this here web site. Which is really cool because it acts just like a normal hard drive in finder, and I can just drag and drop files. Additionally, I can edit the files directly in TextMate, which as you know from my previous post is the best text editor in the computarland.

Anyway, in order to achieve this awesomeness:

1) Download MacFuse from Google here.
2) Install MacFuse.
3) Download the latest version of MacFusion from here.
