The following works in Oracle Linux 6.3, x86_64:
<pre>
yum install http://pkgs.repoforge.org/fuse-sshfs/fuse-sshfs-2.2-1.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm
</pre>
Yum will automatically install fuse and fuse-libs from the Oracle public yum repository.
Then on your Linux system, type: sshfs username@servername:directory mountpoint
where username is the username of your Mac account and servername the IP address or FQDN of your Mac.
For instance, to mount the Desktop folder from your IMac:
On your Mac system, open "*System Preferences*, *Sharing* and enable *Remote Login*
(Firewall will be configured automatically if enabled)
Then, at the command prompt on your Linux system type:
<pre>
mkdir /mnt/mymac
sshfs [email protected]:Desktop /mnt/mymac
</pre>
You can find the files from you Mac Desktop in /mnt/mymac.

Mounting Remote Folder on a Linux ?

Hi,
Is it possible to remotely mount a Linux volume on a mac?
(reverse of what was asked on Mounting Remote Folder on a iMac ? )
Thanks

You can download the installers (GPL) for Fuse and SSHFS for Mac OS X 10.5 or later from:
http://osxfuse.github.com/
Then open the Terminal.app and type sshsf... same as under Linux. Check the Finder Preferences to enable connected servers to see mounted volumes on the desktop.
Please note this is not a Mac OS X forum.

How to mount a remote folder with VPN

Dear All,
I setted up a mac mini server with VPN. It goes through a rooter and I open some ports to be able to connect with VPN.
From max MacBook pro, I installed the VPN profile and I can connect the VPN to my remote server. The remote server has a public static adresse.
Now I am connected with VPN, but I can not moiunt a remote folder. I press command+K and I entered:
afp://username@ip-adresse/Groups
But it return an error message
"There was a problem connecting to the server "46.xx.xxx.xx".
The server may not exust ot it unavailbale at this time. Check the server name ot IP address, check your network connection, and then try again
But the server is up and reachable!
Thank a lot for your advises.
Cheers

I even tryed with
afp://ip-adress
after being connected with VPN,
Should do something else from my router?
When I go to my Macbook system preference and the to network and look at my location, I can see a green label to the VNC and and a IP adress is provided my the VNS server which belong to the pool I configured and out of the local pool

How can I access a folder on my iMac?

Hi All,
I have an iMac (late 2010) and a new MB Air (late 2011). I have a document folder on my iMac that I would like to either a) be able to remotely access and manipulate from my Air, preferably not by just sharing screens or b) sync the folder onto my MB Air. Within my local home network, it's not an issue, I can use AirDrop, but when I take my Air on the road, it'd be nice to access the folder of frequently edited documents.
Bonus Points:
I also have a first edition iPad running iAnnotate - is there a way to sync the edited documents from iAnnotate to both my iMac folder and MB Air without having to plug my iPad into iTunes and "Save To-ing" then dragging and dropping over AirDrop?
Basically, I have 3 devices which need to share and sync a folder of documents that I variously edit on any of the 3 devices, but would like to have updated access to from any device.
Thoughts? and Thanks!

This is only my opinion, but I think the absolutely easiest, fastest, most trouble-free, and least-expensive way to do this is to use Dropbox:
http://www.dropbox.com
There are apps for Macs, PCs, and iOS devices.
Install the Dropbox on all your devices.
Using your best Mac, put this important "document folder" inside the Dropbox folder that will be created for you in the Finder.
Your Dropbox will automatically copy anything inside it to every other device. Any changes you make on any device will be reflected on all your devices.
The first 2gb of storage are free. You can get more free storage by jumping through some hoops, or you can purchase more through a premium Dropbox account. 2gb is enough for almost everyone.
Because of iOS's sandboxed app environment, not every app can make use of Dropbox (this is not a problem for Macs and PCs - if an app reads and writes files in any "normal" way, it can use the files synced by Dropbox). I'm not familiar with iAnnotate specifically, but many iOS apps have Dropbox sync built in. If this app doesn't, you might want to contact the developer to add Dropbox support.

I have an iMac running Yosemite 10.10.1 & Outlook 2011 for Mac. For a while, sent emails went to a sent folder on the iMac so I have a collection of sent emails there. How can I move them to a sent box on my server so I can see them on other devices?

I have an iMac 3.2 GHz Intel Core i5 with 16 GB memory and 1.12 TB storage running Yosemite 10.10.1 & Outlook 2011 for Mac. For a while, sent emails went to a sent folder on the iMac so I have a collection of sent emails there. I have attempted to move those sent emails from the iMac to my email server (IMAP), but without success. Is there a way to move them to a sent box on my server so I can see them on other devices? Many thanks for any help you can provide.

Go to: Apple > System Preferences > Universal Access and in the Seeing tab make sure that the Display Enhance contrast: is set to Normal.
Alternatly, try holding the ⌃⌥⌘ (control command alt) keys and then pressing the , (comma) key a few times.

I keep getting this error in Dreamweaver when I am trying to upload my website? Can you tell me what I am doing wrong? here is the error message: /html - error occurred - Unable to create remote folder /html. Access denied. The file may not exist, or there could be a permission problem. Make sure you have proper authorization on the server and the server is properly configured. File activity incomplete. 1 file(s) or folder(s) were not completed. Files with errors: 1 /html

Nobody can tell you anything without knowing exact site and server specs, but I would suspect that naming the folder "html" wasn't the brightest of ideas, since that's usually a default (invisible) folder name existing somewhere on the server and the user not having privileges to overwrite it.

Upgraded to Yosemite and can no longer remote into my work iMac through screen sharing- it is turned on in settings?

My screen sharing functionality did not show up in the dock with an updated icon. It had a question mark- shows my connections but nothing works, I did make sure screen sharing is on and also connected to VPN. Once I tried to launch screen sharing nothing happens. Such an elegant solution in Mavericks not does not work. Ugh. Help!

This is the post that got me set up- I too am running an older version at work vs. Yosemite. As soon as I followed is advice everything worked.
Upgraded to Yosemite and can no longer remote into my work iMac through screen sharing- it is turned on in settings?
I believe the location of the "Screen Sharing" app has changed, which explains why if you had it in the dock it has been replaced by a ?
Don't forget you can launch screen sharing (once your VPN connection is up) by typing in the Safari destination slot vnc://remotemachinename:portnumber (omit the :port number if you are using the default VNC port, 5900). This should launch Screen Sharing and put its icon in the dock. You can drag the Screen Sharing icon to the left of your dock and it will hopefully remain there after you exit Screen Sharing, or you can right-click on the icon when it's running and select Options->Show in Finder to find out its new location and drag its icon to the permanent entries in your dock.
Hope this helps; worked for me.

My G RAID thunderbolt drive mounted just fine onto my iMac this morning. And now it will not mount despite my various efforts. I don't know what else to do. Can someone help me with this?

My G RAID thunderbolt drive mounted just fine onto my iMac this morning. I copied some files from another drive onto the RAID drive, ejected it, and worked on another project for a few hours. When I went to mount the RAID drive again so I could work on the project associated with the drive (I'm a freelance video editor) it would not mount. I've tried everything. It boots up perfectly fine, the drive seems to have no hardware problems. It shows up on Disk Utility and in System Information but is listed as not mounted. I've verified it on Disk Utility and it tells me everything with the drive is fine. I've tried all the various restarting my iMac, ejecting and reconnecting the drive, shutting down the whole system and starting it back up, relaunching Finder, and nothing works. Starting to panic because this is a client's drive, I have no idea what the issue is, it worked perfectly fine only hours ago, nothing happened to it in the meantime, and I fear continuously connecting and ejecting it because I don't know what the state is with the data and if this is only going to further aggravate the problem. I've been up and down Apple and g-raid forums and can't get a straight answer anywhere. I need to know that the data is safe, the drive is undamaged, and how to get it to mount on my iMac. Can anyone out there help me with this??

welcome to the BT community forum where customers help customers and only BT employees are the forum mods
in order for the forum members to help please can you post the adsl stats from your router you may need to 'show detail' to get all stats (if hub enter 192.168.1.254 in your browser and navigate to adsl or if HH4/5 then go to troubleshooting then logs and you are looking for 2 line together when hub last connected to internet and they will show your connection speed and noise margin or if netgear enter 192.168.0.1). Then run btspeedtester (MAC users may have problems). when first test completes then run diagnostic test and post the results ( do not reset the router).
Have you tried the quiet line test? - dial 17070 option 2 - should hear nothing - best done with a corded phone. if cordless phone you may hear a 'dull hum' which is normal
Someone may then be able to offer help/assistance/suggestions to your problem

That's not an error - it's an alert. And it only means that
you have never
defined the home page by right clicking on a file and so
designating it.
But this would be for your LOCAL site, not the remote site,
correct?

How should I copy my iTunes Music folder from my iMac to my Macbook Pro

I have copied the iTunes music folder from my iMac to my Macbook Pro using firewire and target disk mode. After all the files (for files read each individual song) have been copied I find that not all songs can be played. For those which will not play I get he error message "The song "bla bla" could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" When I answer "locate" on this popup I'm taken to a view of finder. If I double click on the song there, the song will play on iTunes. Seems to be something to do with the structure of the folders but in get info I cannot see a difference between songs encountering this problem and those which don't.

Instead of copying only the _iTunes music folder_, copy the entire *iTunes folder.*
That's all you need to do.

How to load a Numbers folder on my iMac to iCloud so it can sync with my new iPad

How to load a Numbers folder on my iMac (os x Yosemite v 10.10.2) to iCloud so it can sync with my new iPad (8.2)

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you have Numbers installed on your iPad, first go to System Preferences -> iCloud, and make sure that iCloud Drive is enabled.
If so, open a Finder window and choose iCloud Drive in the left sidebar, so you will see a Numbers folder. Just open it and put your Numbers documents there, so they will be synced between your iMac and your iPad (providing that you already have Numbers on your Mac).

I have remote access from my IMAC to my windows PC at work. How do I set up the keyboard functions to work on the work PC when I work from home?

I have remote access using my IMAC. The computer at work is a Windows PC, how do I set up the IMAC's keyboard to function as the same one at work?

Port 3389 should be open on your work network. Check with your admin. They know what ports are open on your work firewall.

FTP Time Out - Cannot Open Remote Folder

I am using Dreamweaver CS3 and windows Vista. I have set-up site definition (with user id and password) and used to be able to connect to the remote server, open remote folders, and upload and download files using Dreamweaver. However, all of sudden I cannot open the host directory remote folder where all of my website information are, It just times out. I can connect to the server, if I don't specify the host directory. I changed FTP time out in dreamwever to increase ftp time, but still it times out. I used to be able to open the host directory without any problem, and I have not changed any information in site definition. I have tried to use fireFTP, and I can connect to the server but cannot open the the host directory, same as in Dreamweaver.
Other pople working on the same website, with same site definition with the same user name and password can connect and open the same host directory remote folder using Dreamweaver on their pcs without any problem. So it seems like the problem is with my pc or Dreamweaver setting, even though I have not changed any settings.
Does anyone know what would be causing this problem and how I can resolve this issue? Thanks.

I found out that the remote folder which I can't open (host directory) contains many wmv video files, which might be causing the problem of timing out using Dreamweaver on my PC. Other people can open the same folder using their Dreamweaver on their PCs.
I can connect to another remote server and open all the folders in Dreamweaver without any problems.
Is there any settings I can change in Dreamweaver or on PCs to resolve this issue, or any other suggestions? Thanks.

Mount webdav folder on OS Lion

Hi I have iomega ix2-200 cloud edition nas drive and use it on regular basis thru wireless connection on afp command. The drive can easily be mounted on finder.
The issue arises when I am outside (home network) and want to access nas drive. Currently, I am using filezilla to download/upload information however it is getting messier every time due to amount of files being edited.
I was reading thru article and came across WebDAV secure link which is available on this device. I have enabled and successfully connected my win7 machine ( as mapped WebDAV folder). Mac however does not want to know, even though I am sure connect tab does offer WebDAV connectivity.
I have already spoken to iomega support and according to them it is mac issue and not fault with nas drive. Can you please guide me on how should I mount WebDAV folder ( ie http/https) on finder.
Kind regards,
Jay

Anyone...been facing similiar problems on OS lion?
