I use Macfuse to localfolder all of my servers. Works great. Have a little script for each server: mount_fooserver.sh:

umount -f ~/mounts/fooserver

sshfs -o kill_on_unmount,reconnect,allow_other,defer_permissions,direct_io username@server:/ ~/mounts/fooserver -ovolname=foo

Interesting. I use

> -o reconnect,cache=no,defer_permissions

So, I add "cache=no"; and omit "kill_on_unmount", "allow_other" and "direct_io". Looks like "kill_on_remount" is a cleanup option; "allow_other" allows other users to mount the same drive (I don't need that) and "direct_io" is similar to "cache=no". FYI...

I use sshfs with macfuse on my M1, and mount a drive to a linux box in my office. It's mostly OK, but has its quirks. Getting it setup was a bit of an adventure, and I questioned myself a couple times - but I powered through and it worked out just fine.

See my top level comment elsewhere… the answer is “mountain duck”.

sshfs works (I use Monterey, M1), though it's slowish.
