- Furthermore, i realize that this forum is for Linux, but it might help a Mac user as i invariably fell onto that page after googling 'uninstall MacFuse' so if an other Mac user reads this it could help them - (might also be the same principle in the Linux system somewhere in your sys preferences' - (Don't know use Linux, can't be more specific)).
- Macs also have no way to uninstall or install operating system features, so there’s no way to easily remove the many applications Apple included with your Mac. On OS X 10.10 Yosemite and earlier, it was possible to open a terminal window and issue commands to delete these system apps, which are located in the /Applications folder.

I'm thrilled to see that FUSE has been ported, ssh file systems are a blessing.
I chose not to use the package installer since the site says it's purely a one off, I assume to get folks trying out FUSE. Instead I followed the instructions to compile everything from source which were linked from the original post:
http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/wiki/HOWTO So far I've had no trouble with the mounted shares, and I'm working on benchmarking VS mounted smb shares... my main interest is finding something that performs better than mounted Windows file shares.
If you want the share to show up in the Finder you'll need to pass in some arguments to the sshfs command, e.g.:
The path for the mountpoint can be any empty directory on your system. I created a folder at ~/mount where I have created empty directories for common shares. Using the options above the share can be unmounted via the finder.
If you are still searching after MacFUSE... a very good, fast and Mac native way is the following: http://blog.no-panic.at/2006/07/23/mount-your-server-home-directory-securly-via-a-openvpn-connection/
I switched from Samba to netatalk which is the normal afp protocol native on OS X. This works seamlessly and I have already set up similar things in production environments in several other places (mostly without the OpenVPN option, because it was in a LAN).

I would like to point to the OSX package manager.
This is a freeware package that allows you to just this.

The Fink Project has FUSE and sshfs available. Installing via Fink has the advantage of easy un-installation later on -- just run fink remove sshfs and fink remove fuse.
Remove Fuse Mac Os X
As for using sshfs, the only problem I've seen is a kernel panic if I try to restart or shutdown with a volume still mounted in the Finder. If I manually unmount the sshfs volume first, there's no problem.
Regarding the uninstall script link to googlecode site. The script may need to be revised... I am posting a rev here and on the google site. The revised script is at the bottom of this post.
Read below for more info:
I had a few weird problems with macfuse... dvd/cd not mounting and just general
weirdness on my 10.4 pbook. I ran the script above, but I found something that may
need to be fixed in it
In the part where you change directories to /System/Library/Extensions and then
delete the fuse.kext file:
cd /System/Library/Extensions
sudo rm -r fusefs.kext
I found that fusefs.kext file was in the directory:
/Library/Extensions/fusefs.kext
Not the one in the script:
/System/Library/Extensions/
I am not sure if the installer put mine in the wrong dir or this something that needs to be fixed in the script, but I thought everyone should know.

Actually, I have found a few other files that were not deleted when I first ran this script. Specifically the .dylib files in the /usr/local/lib/ dir.
Instead of running the script again, I would recommend running the shell script posted below with this command:
find_macfuse_stuff.sh | grep -iv 'cannot open'
(of course you would have to name the script below 'find_macfuse_stuff.sh' after you copy and paste it into a text file)
This script will just return the files that are still installed on your computer and then you can go and delete them by hand one-by-one... I know it is a pain, but some funky things were happening with my drives after I installed macfuse, so I wanted to be very sure they were gone.

Sorry if i am making a mistake but i stumbled across your page when trying to uninstall MacFuse (V2) myself and found the answer in the system preference (then --> MacFuse --> uninstall), seems the new version (2009) has its own installer. Furthermore, i realize that this forum is for Linux, but it might help a Mac user as i invariably fell onto that page after googling 'uninstall MacFuse' so if an other Mac user reads this it could help them - (might also be the same principle in the Linux system somewhere in your sys preferences' - (Don't know use Linux, can't be more specific)).
Er, this site is called Mac OS X Hints. I'm not sure how you got the idea that it was a Linux forum.
Anyway, thanks for the tip regarding an uninstall function in the MacFuse preference pane.
