Recently I read about MacFUSE. A port (or equiv support) to Mac OS X of FUSE, which lets file systems run in userspace. That is a fair bit of techno-speak. What “business problem” does it solve?
It lets me easily access my (fairly locked down) server as easily as any other shared server on my local network. This enables me to edit files on the server (using some great Mac tools) as if the files were local. Take MacFUSE, sprinkle sshfs on top and away you go.
Since ssh is the only service I always enable, this saves me a bunch of hassle trying to get some other file sharing system (like SAMBA, NFS, WebDAV, etc) setup (and secured).
Most excellent.
