Mount SSH Remote Dir in a Mac With SSHFS

I wanted to mount a SSH location in my work Mac through SSHFS like I do in my Ubuntu machine.

Found a couple of tutorials, but I got stuck a couple of times because I had MacPorts or Fink installed, which I tried to uninstall, etc. End up not making it work but found a solution:

Visit the osxfuse website

1 ) Download OSXFUSE for 10.5 to 10.8, install it;

2) Download SSHFS 10.5 or later, install it;

Once installed, do the following in your terminal window:

1) mkidr DIR_MOUNT_NAME

2) sshfs user@host:/path/to/foo DIR_MOUNT_NAME

Done!
