SSHFS GUI Wrapper for Mac OS X

SSHFS GUI

Download Installer: https://github.com/dstuecken/sshfs-gui/raw/develop/Installer/sshfs-gui-1.3.1.dmg

Readme

sshfs-gui is a GUI wrapper for SSHFS

• Mount remote filesystems via SCP/SSH as a native removable Volume in the Mac OS X Finder.
• Open and use the remote files using your applications directly.
• Edit remote websites directly
• No manual upload or download needed, it works seamlessly
• Quickly connect to a server using the latest servers list

Dependencies

You need Mac OS X 10.9+.

Additional sshfs clients are not needed anymore, but you can install one of these if you want to:

• sshfs from https://github.com/osxfuse/sshfs/releases / http://osxfuse.github.io/
• MacFUSE from https://code.google.com/p/macfuse/
• or a custom compiled sshfs from brew, macports, ..

sshfs-gui's Issues

Crash at mount time

On MacOS X 10.11.3, SSHFS GUI crashes at mount time. If launched from Finder, the mount dies with the app. If started from the Terminal, the mount remain after the app crashes.

The details produced by OSX are attached. It seems there is a strlen() used on a NULL pointer:

error text: sh: sshfs: command not found

When I mount , i got error text: sh: sshfs: command not found. Anyway to solve it?

thanks

unable to mount in mojave

Starting with macOS mojave, I get the error message "Could not connect remote host has disconnected". If I copy the whole command line as is to a terminal it mounts fine. It doesn't make a difference if I enter the password in the password field or not.
Additionally, if I run from xcode, I see a lot of "SSHFS GUI[51510:544818] pid(51510)/euid(501) is calling TIS/TSM in non-main thread environment, ERROR : This is NOT allowed. Please call TIS/TSM in main thread!!!" while it is trying to mount. The final error is "mount finished at (mountpoint) with code 256 and error text: remote host has disconnected". Maybe this is a sandboxing issue?

Key Authentication

Can you add public/private key authentication?

"username@(null) -> local/dir/" and no mount directory in my local directory

I am sure I can login server via ssh username@hostname with correct passwad.

But it shows username@(null) -> local/dir/ and there is no mount directory in my local directory.

Any ideas about this? Thanks.

remote host has disconnected

Hi,
I get anytime "remote host has disconnected" any idea what could be wrong ?

I am using macOS Sierra

Import OSXFuse into the app

Thanks for this library.

But it will be better if you can import OSXFuse framework into your app so i just intall the app and run, no need to install other things? Is it possible? Thanks

Using sshfs-static-leopard instead of sshfs

Using "./Contents/Resources/sshfs-static-leopard " instead of /usr/local/bin/sshfs unable to edit the code in the gui text area (uneditable)

unknown workaround: 'nonodelay'

I installed sshfs with brew, and attempting to connect to my sftp server using this GUI throws this error:

Could not connect
unknown workaround: 'nonodelay'

I associated this error with how the command run has the option -o workaround=nonodelay. Does brew sshfs not have this option? Or is the option incorrect (being that there is two "no"s)?

AppleScript: received "remote host has disconnected" while mounting remote drive with SSHFS

Hi,
First of all let me say that I have read a lot of articles online (including the ones already published in github.com) before deciding to post this article here.

My machine

• OS: Mac OS X 10.13.6
• FUSE for Mac: 3.8.3
• SSHFS: v2.5.0
• IP address: 192.168.1.10/24

Remote server

• Distributor ID: Ubuntu
• Description: Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS (server)
• Release: 16.04
• Codename: xenial
• IP address: 192.168.1.30/24

Issue

• From the above you can see that both computers are within the same LAN in the office
• When I use the OS X terminal command below to mount the root folder of my remote server into my machine, there's no problem at all:
  sshfs -o allow_other,defer_permissions [email protected]:/ /Volumes/DATA/remotesrv

but

• If I execute the AppleScript below:

-- Set remote user
set remoteUser to "root" as string

-- Set remote address (either IPv4 or URL)
set remoteAddress to "192.168.1.30" as string

-- Set local path of remote folder
set remotePath to "/" as string

-- Set path of local folder where to mount remote folder
set localMountPoint to "/Volumes/DATA/remotesrv" as string

-- Set full path of SSHFS application
set SSHFSApplicationPath to "/usr/local/bin/sshfs" as string

-- Set options
set sshfsOptions to "-o allow_other,defer_permissions"

-- Set command to execute
set myCommand to SSHFSApplicationPath & " " & sshfsOptions & " " & remoteUser & "@" & remoteAddress & ":" & remotePath & " " & localMountPoint

-- Set the password of the root user
set thePassword to "MYPASSWORD" as string

tell application "Finder"
	
	-- Mount remote folder via SSH
	do shell script myCommand password thePassword with administrator privileges
	
end tell

I received the following error message:

Note: I've also tried by simply creating a bin/bash script as well as an Automator script/app but still the same issue.

If I execute the command from the terminal everything is ok but if I try to make it automatic, no chance at all.

BTW I've also tried the AppleScript from this link (obviously customized for my environment) but curiously I get exactly the very same error message.

This is driving me crazy.

Can someone help me?

Thanks in advance.

SSHFS is not available

I have SSHFS and OSXFUSE installed through Homebrew Cask, but I still get this message:

After upgrade to 1.3, list corrupted + GUI crashes

This issue is described in two parts. I suspect that they are related, but it might not.

• As the screenshot below shows, after upgrading to SSHFS GUI 1.3, the list of servers is corrupted, i.e., a lost of entities are just (null).

• When connecting to any server, either by choosing from the list or entering an all new one, the application crashes. It successfully creates a new directory under /Volumes, but it does not connect to the target server. An Apple crash report is generated afterwards. Using sshfs from command line works successfully.

SSHFS console utility missing

Hi， I got this error when I use sshfs-gui, I brew install sshfs, and macos is catalina.

What are all these command line options? Can I remove them in some way?

GUI tries to use this command:
/opt/local/bin/sshfs '[email protected]:/' '/Volumes/iMacSFTP' -p 22 -o workaround=nonodelay -ovolname='[email protected]' -oNumberOfPasswordPrompts=1 -o transform_symlinks -o idmap=user >/tmp/sshfs-tmp.err 2>&1
and returns error: unknown workaround: nonodelay
But actually to connect and mount I only need this command:
sudo sshfs -o allow_other,defer_permissions [email protected]:/ /Volumes/iMacSFTP
Is there a way I can remove those options causing troubles?
