Macfusion broken on OS X 10.7 Lion

[Uninen]

Title says it all: after upgrading to Lion (and upgrading to latest 2.0.4 found here after that) Macfusion doesn't connect to remote hosts anymore.

Here's a snippet from the log:

Authenticated to 10.0.0.10 ([10.0.0.10]:22). debug1: channel 0: new [client-session] debug1: Requesting [email protected] debug1: Entering interactive session.

I was able to get MacFusion (version 2.0.3 even) working on Lion this morning just by installing the Lion-compatible MacFuse plugin build found here: http://wualablog.blogspot.com/2011/07/wuala-for-os-x-lion.html (found via the comments on http://www.offthehill.org/articles/2011/07/21/macfuse-for-os-x-lion/)

The solution @natevw proposed works for me. Thanks for the workaround!

Agreed this works fine on my system, thank you!

Great work, thanks for posting.

Have a look at @OSXFUSE. It is compatible with MacFUSE file systems and under active development. The version suggested by @natevw is a one-time fix like many unofficial MacFUSE builds.

OSXFUSE worked for me in Lion. Just be sure to follow the Dan Bishop tip when installing it: At the “Installation Type” stage, be sure to select MacFUSE Compatibility Layer. It’s unticked by default.

You might want to install fuse4x. It works great on Lion. https://github.com/fuse4x/fuse4x/downloads

The latest version of fuse4x has native support for macfuse applications and macfusion works great with it.

Thank you @natevw! :+1:
