Hi Scott and Joshua, This is not exactly on your topic, but have either of you looked into ExpandDrive that Chris Blouch mentioned in post a few days ago?
http://www.magnetk.com/expandrive >From their web page: <begin quote> Access remote files within any application ExpanDrive gives you perfectly transparent access to open, edit, and save files with your favorite programs, even when those files are half a world away. Transparent means that you don’t even notice you’re operating on remote files—they act like they’re on an USB drive you plugged directly into your own computer. Add SFTP into Finder No need to load a separate client to transfer files. You can now securely access any remote filesystem from directly within Finder or even the terminal. ExpanDrive extends the way all applications on your Mac can access data. Reconnect with grace Once you’re connected—you stay connected. If you change access points or bring your computer out of sleep, you’ll stay connected. Our robust networking core ensures that if a connection is available that your drive is available. Zero Configuration—it just works Our client is dead simple—there is nothing to install on the server. No complicated instructions. No administrative hassles. Just use your existing login credentials to securely access your remote files. Extending OS X ExpanDrive isn’t just a great SFTP client. We will continue to extend the core of OS X so that you can transparently access an expanding variety of your data. ExpanDrive is about extending the only truly ubiquitous data interface computers know—the filesystem. <end quote> Chris originally posted in a thread about FTP, then reposted about other freeware programs being developed out of MacFUSE project that forms the basis for ExpanDrive (which is $29). The blogs I've read like ExpanDrive because of the simple and robust user interface. I haven't looked into this myself, but there's a newly released version that came out today that you could test drive.
