UDOO Filesystem under OSX with SSHFS and FUSE

To access the UDOO filesystem from my Mac without starting SAMBA (Windows filesharing) on the UDOO, I installed "FUSE for OS X" and SSHFS in my old faithful Os X Mavericks MacBook Pro. I created an empty UDOO folder in my Mac home folder ( that is mkdir ~/UDOO) and with the following command in terminal I can now see all the UDOO filesystem inside it (copy files to/from the UDOO by just dragging):

Code:

sshfs <username>@<UDOO_IP_ADDRESS>:/ ~/UDOO

as in this example:

Code:

sshfs ubuntu@192.168.100.118:/ ~/UDOO

Or, to share only the home folder:

Code:

sshfs <username>@<UDOO_IP_ADDRESS>:~/ ~/UDOO

(192.168.100.118 is my UDOO address, ubuntu the username)

Works quite fine, but be careful of caching, files may not be updated as fast as you may expect, I really had no problems but the SSHFS website warned about it (and instructs on how to disable caching, in case).

I added this command to a script to do this and start the VNC server (if installed following the UDOO tutorial) so my UDOO is completely accessible without a screen all day long, I called it connectudoo.sh

Code:

#!/bin/sh

#connect UDDOO

sshfs ubuntu@192.168.100.118:/ ~/UDOO
ssh ubuntu@192.168.100.118 "vncserver :1 -geometry 1920x1080 -depth 24"

Remember to

Code:

chmod a+x ./connectudoo.sh

to make it executable and move it to some location where it is easy accessible (or paste it inside a an AppleScript/Automator app to make it clickable)

Have fun.
