(a) Download Xcode from the app store
(b) Download SSHFS and MacFuse from http://osxfuse.github.io/. It’s likely SSHFS is already installed on your Mac.
(c) In your home folder, create an empty folder called “Hoffman_Mount” or something of the sort
(d) also create a file called mount_hoffman.sh. The text of the file should be:
diskutil unmountDisk force /Users/PATH_TO_”Hoffman_Mount”
echo “Mounting Hoffman_Mount”
sshfs HOFFMAN_USER_ID@hoffman2.idre.ucla.edu://u/project/ifried/ /Users/cnl/Hoffman_Mount -o allow_other,defer_permissions,volname=Hoffman_Mount
(e) To actually mount hoffman, open the terminal app and enter the pull path of the shell script, e.g.: /Users/cnl/Documents/mount_hoffman
Note, you might need to chmod 777 /Users/cnl/Documents/mount_hoffman to allow MacOS to open the shell script.
