This will show you how to mount a remote directory in finder using sftp. (Mount sftp folder with finder). There is a link at the bottom to a post to mount any remote system you have ssh access to using homebrew. check that out if you like working with the command-line.
is it possible to connect to an amazon ec2 server this way? I’ve done an ssh-add of the pem file and try to connect leaving the password empty, but no success. I can connect to the same server using “ssh user@server” in the terminal (I’m not prompted for password).
Does not work for me. I’ve tried connecting to a Ubuntu server (which works using sftp://server/path from Ubuntu desktop).
it seems that this doesnt actually work. it might have been a bug in snow leopard that let me think it was connecting via sftp when it was actually connecting via ftp :|
worked in Snow Leopard. Broken in Lion
Works like charm! Thanks a bunch for the tip
