Hi I used macfusion2 happily for the last years and I can't find an alternative. Aside from mounting manually from cli.

Now I did a clean High Sierra install and am on 3.7.1 OSXFUSE, installed Macfusion 2.1-dev which is kind of working, when I manually enter a Mount Point in my home dir.
But only for keys using password auth fails, I suppose I could try the dev builds. But they are more than a year old.

The owner wants to move the project https://github.com/ElDeveloper/macfusion2/issues/33
But referenced url brings an empty project

Can someone shine a light on why this seems abandoned and if there are alternatives? (simple GUI to mount ssh)

I for myself haven contributed much to this project but was working on my own private "fork" which hasn't been published or reached a state that could be published. What applies to me is that I don't have a hard dependency to macfusion regarding to my daily work anymore. it used to be...

In case you like to tinker around a bit. You can always replace the sshfs binary within the sshfs plugin of macfusion. If I remember correctly there was a askpass binary somewhere too. not sure if that needs to be altered.

Since i have never used password authentication and high sierra i am guessing out of the dark, but maybe my input gives you some idea where to start digging.

Only thing I also know is that this one here has been published but never tested it and not sure if it addresses your issues https://github.com/mischievous/sshfs/releases/tag/2.7

Good luck!

Seems all the pieces are there. But I'll have too puzzle them together :D

Hello @pjeutr,

Long story short, I'm on the same boat as @166MMX. I no longer use or depend on Macfusion2 for anything I do.

That's absolutely my bad, but I've just done that now. 👍

As for the problems you report, I also encountered issues with the macfusion infrastructure not being able to handle passphrases and passwords after recent OS updates. My best suggestion is to use a private key with a passphrase in your keychain.

@ElDeveloper Do you want to keep the repo name as macfusion2 or should we rename it to macfusion-ng?

I'm still using Mac OSX 10.11, thus I don't have any way to work on High Sierra right now.

If someone is interested in joining the project I'm more than happy to work with new contributors.

Great point @tessus, forgot about the name change, I think the way to go is cut a new release version (2.2 stable?), and rename the repo. Thinking about it, there's a bit that would need to change, namely xcode project, binary names, resources, etc. So maybe we should keep it as macfusion2? Thoughts?
