MacFusion is GUI for the open source MacFUSE project that allows you to mount remote (networked) filesystems. I use MacFUSE to mount SSH volumes directly in Finder which removes my need to use an FTP client (my web hosts all support SSH). Another advantage of mounting these remote volumes is that I can live edit pages (I know – it’s dangerous – but I have some small sites that can handle my hacking)! MacFusion can even handle mounting FTP servers, giving read/write FTP in the finder. I think a lot of readers of this site will already be familiar with Macfuse but if you think that a better interface might help your workflows why not give MacFusion a try?
