sshfs: Permission-Problem

[kmb@…]

If I connect to my server with root I can't modify/access files that are not owned by root. Only if world-rwx is set I can change a file that is not owned by root. The interesting thing is, that if a add root to a group that hast the full rights on a file or folder, it doesn't change anything on the Finder perspective.

root is only a example. I have a dev-system with multiple users and groups - and the users aren't able to use those group-privileges on the server via this ssh-mount...

This is probably a Problem with how the Finder works, right? Or can you do something about it?

Are you using any of the fast options? What type of server are you dealing with. I'm working on a FAQ document which should help deal with some of these issues.

Same problem here. Mine is using Leopard (of course) with latest update, and remote sshfs system is Ubuntu Hardy. When using root to mount the file system, when I take a look inside Terminal (e.g. ls -al /Volumes/somemountpoint/somedir ), any files owned by root in the remote side will be treated as owned by my Mac current username. Files not owned by root will show the uid number instead for the owner. I think this is the major reason why Finder won't allow me to write to those files/directories, as to Finder, they are really not writable by my Mac username a/c.

i have the same problem using macfusion on leopard connecting to a debian-server. i can't access folders, when i have group-privileges; it works only world-readable.

it works in expandrive, though...
