By installing the latest MacFUSE from google and adding ‘-o auto_cache’ to the advanced options for my sshfs mounts I have the same caching behavior in MacFusion that I liked in ExpanDrive.

I have not compared how ExpanDrive deals with TextMate and large remote projects, but it is not usable in MacFusion. If ExpanDrive does that well I might have to pony up.

Yes, computer geeks understand it.

I’m not knocking the product. It is quite cool for the people who want the features.

I was just quick to point out a tool that I found was most successful getting novice users up and running. Dragging files between 2 columns in a single window made more sense for most.

I also wanted to promote open source which benefits developers and users.

ExpanDrive builds directly into Finder, Textmate, etc

@Rubin110 & @Khürt – We’ve got a full custom FTP/SFTP stack, try it out. It is MUCH more responsive, it stays connected between sleep/wake sessions, over access point changes. It doesnt’ beachball. It makes editing a large project practical.

I’ve been using MacFusion/MacFUSE with all my Linux/UNIX servers with no issues. Why pay for it?
