Foreword to the maintainer
I read your disclaimer and am aware that this project is in minimal maintenance only. But I wanted to file this issue at the (hopefully) relevant place, as I saw people discussing this at various forums, where the issue is indirectly involved.
Environment
Reproduction I - The "brew-only" way - Buggy
$ brew install macFUSE
brew info macfuse
mentions:$ brew install sshfs
and I don't recall the outcome of this either.The reason seems to be a chicken-egg-problem caused by the raised Kernel Extension Security Settings of macOS Big Sur. See my assumption and the workaround in Reproduction III.
Reproduction II — Mixed install methods — macFUSE PKG + sshfs via brew — Fails too
1.1. So far so good. Seemed to be installed:
1.1.1. System Preferences > macFUSE showed up among the third party preference panes (last row)
1.1.2. Opened prefPane > Worked. Ran "Check for Updated". Worked. Said it's the newest one.
1.2. But not certain whether it was "loaded"
1.2.1. System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General: No warning. No "accept third party kernel extension" or similar.
1.2.3. /Applications/Utilities/System Information.app > Software > Extensions: Showed no macFUSE entry
1.2.3. System restart. Still the same situation.
$ brew install sshfs
fails with:Error: sshfs has been disabled because it requires FUSE!
Reproduction III — macFUSE and sshfs both via PKG installer — Works!
a. Installed macFUSE 4.1.2 via PKG installer on a DMG disk image
b. Installed ssh 2.5.0 via PKG installer on a DMG disk image
I guess that's'why Reproduction I "brew-only" fails.
$ sshfs username@server:/path-on-server/ ~/path-to-mount-point
command.$ sshfs username@server:/path-on-server/ ~/path-to-mount-point
