| 27 | 27 | ## OS X (Mac) helpful hints |
| 28 | 28 | |
| 29 | +As of OSX 10.15 Catilina we are not recommending to create mounts in the root path or / of the file system. |
|
| 30 | + |
|
| 29 | 31 | An example of mounting from OSX on your local system is as follows - |
| 30 | -`sudo mkdir -p /sshfs/userdocs` |
|
| 31 | -`sudo chown -R $USER /sshfs` |
|
| 32 | -`/usr/local/bin/sshfs oconnor@xtal200.harvard.edu:/nfs/userdocs /sshfs/userdocs -o volname=userdocs,reconnect,ServerAliveInterval=15,ServerAliveCountMax=3,idmap=user,auto_xattr,dev,suid,defer_permissions,noappledouble,noapplexattr,IdentityFile=$HOME/.ssh/sshfs-id_rsa` |
|
| 33 | 32 | |
| 34 | -Basically, your local user needs to own the destination $PATH. We mount one complete filesystem from the remote site(avoids local Apple Finder issues). We give the volume a name (shows mount point on your desktop), add some additional options for server connections, etc. If you are using an [password-less-ssh](faq-setting-up-passwordless-ssh) you would add it's path to the IdentityFile paramater. |

| 37 | 41 | |
