Integrate with OSX Finder: Connect to Server #26

Open Kriechi opened 8 years ago

Kriechi commented 8 years ago

Problem: Mounting a directory with SSHFS requires the user to jump into a Terminal window and type out the commands to create a mount point, and then mount with SSHFS. This does not feel right for GUI-spoiled OSX users. It would be much nicer to make use of the Finder integration to mount remote filesystems: "Connect to Server" used for SMB or NFS mounts.

Possible Solution: I stumbled across this blog post, and the linked project code.

This makes use of a bundle for the NetFS Finder integration.

IMHO it would be really great if this could be included in the osxfuse-SSHFS repository, to provide proper support and ideally also ship it (include it) directly (to be installed with homebrew).

Or is it better to report this over at https://github.com/libfuse/sshfs?

I agree with you, it would be nice to be able to mount sshfs volumes using "Connect to Server". If I remember correctly NetFS plugins need to be signed by Apple nowadays.

Currently I have my hands full with FUSE. Anyone up for the job of creating a NetFS plugin?

Just going to politely bump this in hopes that some kind soul has the time and interest to work on it. 😁
