Long time ago I used to have a solution on my Macbook Pro that enabled me to view the directories on my remote Linux computer at work in a Desktop/Finder folder after SSH'ing to that remote computer. I'm unable to figure out what solution that was! It would be extremely useful for my workflow because I often code and run programs on that linux box and then need to move files from and to the Mac or drag/drop them into email windows that are open. The way this works now is I have to first open a new Terminal window separate from the one I use to work on the remote computer, then scp the files I want to move between the computers, then open the file from the shell to be able to drop it into an email window or edit it locally. Please, if any of you know the SSH/Finder solution I'm talking about, remind me of it. Thanks!!!!
