MacFusion brings all sorts of information to your Mac in the form of files and folders displayed as just another Volume on your Mac desktop.
Right now you can use this software to show a Secure Shell or Secure FTP share from another computer on your macs desktop, letting you manipulate the files on it as if they were on your own computer.
MacFusion can also do the same for any File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server, giving read/write FTP in the finder for the first time! MacFusion works using open source technology called FUSE ported by Google to the Mac platform (MacFuse).
MacFusion is based on plugins and you can expect exciting new file systems coming to your desktop in the future!
This includes the files from your gmail account, pictures from Flickr, encrypted volumes using encfs, source code repositories using subversion, and more!
Here are some key features of "MacFusion":
· Save your favorite servers in a list of favorites so you can connect to them quickly. Macfusion will remember your login information, and can save your password in the keychain you ask it to. Macfusion even supports public/private key authentication for SSH.
· Quickly mount your saved servers from Macfusion's menu item, appearing at the top right of your screen by the clock. You can start this menu item from the Macfusion menu in the main application.
· Quickly connect to any server using Macfusion's optional menu item. The quick connect dialog, accessible using a keyboard shortcut or through the menu, lets you immediately type in an SSH or FTP host.
