Hm, it seems that I assumed more knowledge on your part than you actually have, so let's rewind back to the beginning.

I presume you mean this: http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/wiki/QUICKER_START_GUIDE The directions on that page are about as clear as any I've ever seen so you'll have to be more precise about the problems you're having. For example, the first instruction on that page is: "1. Download and install the MacFUSE package available under the "Downloads" tab of this project." Do you understand what that means? Were you able to do it? BTW, to answer your question about a "precompiled binary": MacFuse and sshfs are written in a programming language called C, which is not directly executable by a computer. Before these programs can be executed they have to undergo a process called "compilation", the result of which is a "precompiled binary" which can be executed directly with no additional processing. (Usually, the term "precompiled" is only applied if someone else has done the compilation for you, and not if you do it yourself, even though the end result is -- or at least should be -- identical.) rg -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacFUSE" group.
