Hi ...

From your notes, e-mail address @... and screen shot displaying '...' we can't 
tell whether you're using FTP or 
SSH, I'll assume SSH.

Re <http://code.google.com/p/macfusion/issues/detail?id=159#c1>

Whilst your symptoms don't quite match the other author's original report, I 
_suspect_ that you may have the 
same issue(s) as I do with one particular server.

Please:

* follow steps 1) and 2) and a) through g)

* if the path to which MacFusion _defaults_
  differs from the path to which Cyberduck _defaults_
  then please try specifying the path in MacFusion

  -- the path must begin with a solidus /

  then ideally add the result of that specification to
  <http://code.google.com/p/macfusion/issues/detail?id=159>

OR

If you were *already* specifying the correct path in MacFusion, ideally
create a new issue <http://code.google.com/p/macfusion/issues/entry>.

In either case
--------------

Is the service to Windows computers in your lab -- and the corresponding FTP 
and/or SFTP service to Macs -- 
provided by a Novell server?

<http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=site:dal.ca%20SciFinder%20%2BNovell> I guess 
so, but I'd like to be 
sure.

Thanks

I had a similar problem (similar symptoms) with an SSHFS connection. For me the 
issue was resolved by using the 
defer_auth option in MacFUSE 0.4.0. 

Re MacFusion issue 178 
<http://code.google.com/p/macfusion/issues/detail?id=178> 
forthcoming version 1.2 of MacFusion will make it easier to specify options 
such as defer_auth for FTP 
connections.

Re <http://code.google.com/p/macfusion/wiki/CHANGELOG> and 
<http://code.google.com/p/macfusion/issues/detail?id=178>

Builds based on revision 267 or later from Subversion should offer a GUI for 
advanced options for CurFtpFS (FTP) 
connections. 

A suitable nightly build is now available at 
<http://code.google.com/p/macfusion/downloads/list>.
