SSHFS doesn't work on Leopard...

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Get the latest MacFUSE installers/binaries.
2. Open an SSH tunnel to a user account on my localhost.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The expected output would be a file sharing icon with the requested file
system being mounted.  However, I got nothing.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

MacFUSE for 10.5 and 1.0 version of SSHFS.

Please provide any additional information below.

I saw pretty much the same thing in Leopard.  But it seems to just be a problem 
with the mount point not 
showing up in finder.  If you run "mount" from terminal I did see that the 
sshfs volume was mounted and I could 
do ls and stuff to it.

As an aside, I also noticed the same problem with the spotlightfs and ntfs-3g 
drivers under Leopard.

You folks need to read the FAQ. See Q4.1, Q4.2, and Q4.3.

This isn't a valid issue that I can solve within MacFUSE (without cooperation 
from the Finder).

How about a message when the drive has been mounted? With the drive not showing 
up in
the sidebar (I concede this is definitely not your problem) *and* no message, it
seems to the user that the operation has silently failed.

Although there may be a better solution, there is another way of doing the same
thing.  (I had actually forgotten about this bug report, hence the reason it is 
still
open.)  Open up preferences in Finder, select Sidebar and make sure that there 
is a
checkmark next to "Connected Servers".

simon: Message from what? SSHFS.app is just a demo, which is why you don't see
features being added to it. There is, in fact, a message (a notification) sent 
by
MacFUSE--other GUIs atop MacFUSE can catch that message and display what they 
want.

I think that SSHFS.app needs to be *not available* from this web site so that 
this
needless confusion doesn't happen. (Rather, sshfs-static, the "real" sshfs 
binary,
which is currently embedded within SSHFS.app, should be available.)
