Cancel my last post.. All is working now (well at least I can see the drive now)

Hello All..

Ok so I bought an external drive (WD essentials 3TB). I downloaded NTFS-3G which also gave me Macfuse. I rebooted and get the same errors as posted above.

I downloaded the 2.1.5 beta. I, like others, could not find the above mentioned file to rm - at all.

So then I thought I don't recall even downloading macfusion, so maybe that is why? But none of the instructions I saw said to do this. Do I need to?

I then found another article which claimed to fix the issue by downloading 2.1.9 beta. So I did that

I hate to sound stupid but now what? Should my drive just appear on my desktop or do I have to mount it??

Not very unix savy so bear with me. Any and all help is appreciated

Thanks

Ok, running latest MacFuse 2.1.5 and Macfusion 2.0.4
I get error msg "Could not mount filesystem: Mount has timed out."
Time out seems to be only 6secs or so, where do I change the time out?
Im on Snow Leopard 10.6.8

Does MacFusion work on SL 64bit yet?

What is MacFusion? I know about MacFuse. It this just a new name for the same thing? Anyhow, before you give tips on how to improve the performance of MacFuse, please tell us how to get past "Installation failed" message. I get this on 10.6.5 MacBook Air, but it works fine on 10.6.5 MacBook Pro.

MacFUSE is not working (yet) on 64bit kernels, so check your kernel before laming out "not working".

We're all waitong for a working version soon, though.

I can't get ssh to work. Been at it for 2 days. I keep getting the message "Could not mount filesystem: Authentication has failed."

I am trying to connect by MacBook Pro (SL 10.6.6) to my MacMini (SL 10.6.5) which I use as a server.

Here is what I have done:
1) updated MacFuse to 2.1.5 in System Prefs
2) installed Macfusion 2.0.4.
3) ran the terminal command to remove the sshnodelay.so file, but in the version of Macfusion I have installed, this file must have already been removed because it's not there.

Any ideas on what else I can try?

I manage to mount ATV, but I dont get write permissions to any folders. (the "library" folder on the ATV has a "Stop" sign, but the other folders on ATV looks normal). What am I doing wrong?
Best Regards,
Peter

Awesomeness. In case you were curious, there are still people stumbling onto this post, and fixing their setup. Thanks!

I have tried all of the fixes and alt files referenced above to no avail. Like a few other posters above I am trying to connect only with ftpfs, not ssh. When I start macfusion and attempt to mount it says "mounted" but causes a 60 second freeze on my machine. I cannot do anything during this time, even switch apps. Any ideas?

html caught me out: se above
-o idmap=user -o uid=[my local uid] -o gid=[my local gid]

By: iain

Just thought I'd add - in case you didn't already know:
If you want to have permissions set properly then you need to add something like this to SSH Advanced settings:
-o idmap=user -o uid= -o gid=

Say you are userMe@remoteSite and you are a member of group www-data at remoteSite
unless you add the above options you will only have write permissions to userMe's folder at remoteSite and, regardless of your www-data membership, you will be unable to write to files in group www-data.

This is because your Mac doesn't know your group membership at remoteSite and will deny you write permissions to directories outside userMe's home directory.

This worked for me on 10.6.4. I was getting an authentication error, but I was able to resolve that by quiting Macfusion and doing a "killall macfusionAgent" from the CLI.

Thanks!

For me this worked

#rm /Applications/MacFusion.app/Contents/PlugIns/SSHFS.plugin/Contents/Resources/sshnodelay.so

Thanks a lot for making my macfusion work again
