Hi Dean and Chris, There's a very useful free utility at the Mac App Store called "Go2Shell". Here's the recent TUAW description: <begin quote> Go2Shell is a tiny little 0.3MB app available for free from the Mac App Store that has the potential to speed up your work-flow if it involves Terminal. Go2Shell simply launches a Terminal session with the current folder you're navigating in Finder, or the folder that Go2Shell is located in, open for work. It even supports iTerm, iTerm 2 and xterm if you're not a fan of Apple's own-brand Terminal.
It's so simple, it's almost beautiful and if you happen to have to modify files in Terminal, or any other similar task, Go2Shell could be just ticket to save you time. <snip> Go2Shell is a great free download from the Mac App Store that does one thing and one thing well. So if you're a Terminal guru (even the app's preferences are accessed through the command line) then give Go2Shell a whirl. You might like it. <end quote> Here's the link to the Go2Shell program at the Mac App Store: http://itunes.apple.com/app/go2shell/id445770608?mt=12 When you are doing an scp, ssh, or sftp to work with files that are in are particular folder or directory, this saves you from having to use the "cd" command to navigate to that folder in Terminal. Instead, you're placed in the folder you want when you use Go2Shell from the GUI. HTH.
