Why does Finder’s scp folder disappear when ssh is invoked

filesystemfinder

sshfs 2.5 and fuse 3.8.3 were installed on OS X 10.11.6 ElCapitan

Why does: 

sshfs users@fqdn.com:/mnt/CRUZERFIT16/Directory /Users/user/Documents/scpbox

force the folder scpbox to disappear? I would like to view the contents of the directory in the file manager 'Finder'. The command:

ls -l /Users/user/Documents/scpbox

lists the contents of the remote Unix box.

What can be done to enable viewing in the file manager? The remote Unix box has been tested with Ubuntu sshfs and is accessible through Ubuntu's native file manager (Nautilus).

Best Answer

You need to use the -ovolname option. Using your example:

sshfs users@fqdn.com:/mnt/CRUZERFIT16/Directory /Users/user/Documents/scpbox -ovolname=scpbox
