Open up the Terminal and type: ssh-keygen -d It’s slightly geeky, but actually really easy and completely optional.

#MACFUSION ALTERNATIVE PASSWORD#

MacFusion supports SSH authentication which is more secure than password authentication, and I like the fact that you just copy your public key to all your servers, no need to set any passwords in MacFusion. So it might be a good idea to turn off this feature by running this command in the Terminal: defaults write OakDocumentDisableFSMetaData 1 One last note: TextMate leaves invisible files all over the place (more info at the bottom of the Saving Files section of the TextMate manual) which might make some people unhappy if you’re working on their server.

And thus, the only TextMate annoyance I ever came across vanishes… TextMate will treat them just like any other local Projects.

That’s it! Now you can open multiple files as Projects (and save them) on any server via SSH or FTP. Just enter your server info like you would in any FTP application, click on “OK” and your server will show up in the Finder like a regular local network volume. Life is beautiful…Įasy access to your servers from the menubar It works with SSH or FTP, allows you to create Favorites, and saves your passwords in your Keychain. MacFusion is a menubar item that lets you mount remote volumes in the Finder.

Setup a SSH Key pair for automatic authentication.

#MACFUSION ALTERNATIVE INSTALL#

Download and install MacFusion (the 1.0 release has a bug in its Keychain password implementation, download the 1.01 Beta Release instead unless a newer version is out by the time you read this).

Download and install MacFUSE (will require a restart).

The only requirement to get this working is to have SSH access to the server. Update: the solution just got even better thanks to Jan’s tip.Ī simpler yet powerful solution, which -requires only minimal use of the Terminal and- takes about 2 minutes to setup, is to get the remote server to mount directly in the Finder and trick TextMate into thinking it’s a local directory. It’s the most elegant way to deal with the problem, but it’s not available on all servers and it’s a slightly overblown solution if you just need to perform random updates on a site you’re the only one working on. Not a bad solution but you have to buy Interarchy and it’s still a local → server synchronization process, not real live editing on the server.Īt the other end of the spectrum, there’s Subversion. A semi-automated way to achieve similar results is to use Interarchy and its “NetDisk” feature. That’s the easiest solution, and what I do whenever I can. The first one is to develop locally and then upload to the live server. There are a few different ways to deal with this problem.

#MACFUSION ALTERNATIVE WINDOWS#

Now you got 30 windows littering your screen, you open a blank Project and start adding each file to its empty Project drawer while thinking that maybe you should just use BBEdit on that one… Some Alternatives

It goes something like this: you fire up Transmit (or similar FTP program), highlight the files you need to work on, and hit the ⌘+↓ key combo to open them. TextMate is by far my favorite text editor for OS X, but the fact that its Projects view (and all its associated features) doesn’t work with files located on a remote server can be pretty frustrating when you’re working on a website.

#MACFUSION ALTERNATIVE SOFTWARE#

I did read about how he has to close source the software and how this software can hardly be continued open source or is difficult to be a collective work because of the signature issue, but that doesn't make using macFUSE less scary.You want to know the easy way to use TextMate’s Projects with files located on a remote server? Read on… The Problem One of the only few arguments is that the developer "Benjamin Fleischer" is reputable. I try to search on the internet to find out if macFUSE is indeed safe to use, but I failed.

#MACFUSION ALTERNATIVE CODE#

It's quite a lot, but not at a level that I would trust or make me feel like the source code has been widely reviewed. There are only 7.9k stars on GitHub (2023 March). I would be more comfortable using it if macFUSE is developed or reviewed by many other developers, but there is only one contributor listed on GitHub, and articles are saying that the recent releases have become closed-source. I'm not an expert on macOS or operating systems, but as far as I read on the internet, it doesn't sound safe and it is not recommended by Apple. MacFUSE is a requirement for VeraCrypt on MacOS.īut installing macFUSE honestly sounds so scary.
