Mount a virtual linux folder on to your Mac
Posted on July 31st, 2012 in unix | No Comments »
If you have a lot of files (images, pdfs, etc) you need to view on a remote server but don’t desire to `rsync` the whole thing over to your local file system, here’s a way to mount that folder to your local Mac for on-demand browsing:
sudo port install sshfs cd /tmp mkdir remote sshfs user@server:path remote
To unmount:
umount folder
Note that could take awhile to load folders with hundreds of files. Otherwise Work great. Thanks to this link and this link.
