Mount ftp site read/write on Mac



MacFuse provides everything you need to mount an ftp directory on a remote site on your Mac:

  • Download and install MacFuse
  • Download the Mac port of CurlFtpFs and put it in a directory in your search path
  • Create directory ftp
  • Execute command
    curlftpfs ftp://user:pass@ftp.example.com/ ftp

The mount point will become visible in the finder. Replace user/pass by your usercode/password and ftp.example.com by the name of your ftp site.
