Problem with mout_nfs in Finder.

[Sunnz]

I was trying to connect to a home file server in Finder via NFS, but got permission denied.

So I used the Terminal:
sudo mount_nfs -P homeServer:/share /mnt

And that worked.

However I'd like to do this in the Finder. This is a laptop and I don't always have access to my home server, and I wouldn't like having to use the Terminal every time I turn on/off my laptop.

Thanks.

I think you can launch terminal programs, including shell scripts, from the Finder.

A more amusing option is to use MacFUSE and sshfs. http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/

Well I got MacFUSE sometime ago, just haven't got to use it...

Do you know the performance of ssh_fs?

I used to have samba set-up, but its performance isn't very good - I "stream" movies from my network share, and that my network has no Windows box so it isn't exactly a logically correct thing to do.

Anyway, I got nfs working with netinfo which I think uses automount? Its performance is great, the movies are like stored locally - there are no lags and I was able to skip to any section of a huge movie almost immediately.
