Permission issue when mounting SSHFS

[Jason Murphy]

Hi folks, wondering if you could please help? I'm running OS X Catalina 10.15.6 and have had a lot of trouble mapping an older NAS drive with SMB. As a solution, I enabled SSH on the NAS drive, installed Fuse for Mac 3.1.1.0 and SSHFS 2.5.0.

To mount a drive on the NAS drive, I'm using this command:

sshfs -o volname=[name] [username]@[NAS:/path/to/folder [local mount path]

Username on the Mac differs to username on the NAS, but NAS user has full read/write permissions to the NAS drive share.

I'm able to mount and read the NAS volume, but I cannot write. Error message is:

'The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items.'

Does anyone any suggestions? Thanks.

What has worked for me is adding:

-o allow_other,defer_permissions

Now, that is for actual sshfs (so, just ssh really, so far as I understand it.)

Why you do you use anything for Samba ?  (It is Samba ? Or some SSH-Samba? pardon my ignorance.)

Finder mounts SAMBA properly, through `Go > Connect to Server...'

For my case: I don't know what is up.  I am 99.3% certain that it used to work perfectly w/o passing any options.  Now, I am also passing a uid/gid.  Not sure whether I really have to.

Best of luck!

Thanks Germaine,

Yes, confirming the -o switch has worked for me also. Thanks!
