Mike, I am doing the same thing locally with some Ruby scripts on my MacBook Pro system.
When you mount a volume using the GUI, they use /Volumes/<name> that you specify in the settings for that volume. It is possible to drive this from the command line, and when you do you can specify any mount point that you like. In my scripts I both create the mount point and then mount the volume. For example: mkdir ~/my-local-mount-point sshfs -p 9876 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/user ~/my-local-mount-point In the example... -- "sshfs" is a symbolic link to "/Applications/Macfusion.app/Contents/ PlugIns/sshfs.mfplugin/Contents/Resources/sshfs-static" -- 9876 is the port to connect to. you only need to specify this is you use a non-standard SSH port (something other than port 22) -- "user" is the login username -- "example.com" is the host where the volume resides (you could use an IP instead) -- "/home/user" is the remote mount point path -- "~/my-local-mount-point" is a folder on your local system that already exists. (This folder will be changed from a local folder to a remote volume upon mounting the remote volume. One strange thing is that when you view the "~/my-local-mount-point" folder in Finder once you have mounted the remote volume, Finder shows it as an Alias rather than a folder.) Upon unmounting the remote volume, the Alias becomes a folder again, but remains and is not removed. In my scripts, I unmount the remote volume AND delete the mount point folder. For example: umount ~/my-local-mount-point rmdir ~/my-local-mount-point By the way, when I use the GUI to mount a volume, the mount point that appears in /Volumes is removed upon unmount. Hope this helps. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacFUSE" group.
