For some reason OSX only mounts FTP servers as read only. You can do it using MacFuse, though here's a tutorial - http://www.turingtarpit.com/2009/04/mounting-remote-filesystems-on-osx-leopard-using-sshfs-macfuse-and-macfusion/ Ah I misunderstood.

Actually, I can work fine with an FTP programme, I just can't mount the share on the deskop using afp like i used to because my new ISP has blocked port 548 "for security reasons". If I use a FTP program lige Transmit or Fetch I have no problems, but i (and especially my wife) has been used to just drag and drop like the external server was a local external hard disk.

This may be the solution i am looking for, but I am not the big tech guy so please le me describe my problem ... I subscribe to a ftp-server service and I can connect via cmd-K and ftp:// which mounts the server on the dektop, but i can only download from the server which is pointless because the idea is i have to upload so my clients can download their illustrations that are too big to send by email. My ISP has blocked port 548 so i can not use afp:// ... Will this trick you have described solve that problem? Kind regards, Peter Hi. This may be the solution i am looking for, but I am not the big tech guy so please le me describe my problem …

I used to manage a Windows network with "roaming profiles" a long time ago but unfortunately I can't be of much help to you. I'll be glad to join you for a beer though!

Thank-you for this tutorial,.. GREAT STUFF and useful. I have a problem with AFS that perhaps *you've* already solved. Can you help? If not,. don't worry.. I'll figure it out.. just slower. SITUATION: Xserve1 uses AFP to serve out user accounts (the accounts are on a local external XSan disk). Portable Home Directories (PHD) sync those to client laptops. But the folder is ALSO permanently mounted onto XServe2 ('>mount' on Xserve2 shows it correctly mounted). THE PROBLEM: When I log into Xserve2, the users folder is mounted AGAIN (causing grief with file perms etc.). There was no problem pre-SnowLeopard (10.5). I KNOW I could just stop using PHD,.. but I don't want to give that up. I also KNOW that could just not mount permanently,.. but I need it for a bunch of other reasons. I COULD just move the files physically from Xserve1 to Xserve2 but that just shifts the problem elsewhere (I'll have double-mounts on Xserve1). MY QUESTION: 1. How do *you* local-mount users, permanent-mount on another server, and PHD to mobile laptops syncing their home dirs. 2. How might I prevent the automount from happening while preserving the use of PHD? (woud making a hardlink work?.. configuring fstab in an exotic way? digging into the hidden prefs on OS X Server? Latching on to some sort of apple event linked to the the system log file? Your help is appreciated and will win you a privileged place in heaven (and a free beer if you come by Lausanne, Switzerland). Best, Shawn Hello,.. Thank-you for this tutorial,..
