ExpanDrive is another excellent app that uses MacFUSE. I use ExpanDrive to connect to my MediaTemple (gs) GridServer. Instant File Server. Works Excellent!

I learned of ExpanDrive through John Grubers post at Daring Fireball.

ExpanDrive: Ridiculously simple SFTP and FTP drive access on your Mac.

 “ExpanDrive gives you perfectly transparent access to open, edit, and save files with your favorite programs, even when those files are half a world away. Transparent means that you don’t even notice you’re operating on a remote server—files act like they’re on an USB drive you plugged directly into your own computer.”

I’m upgrading all my MediaTemple hosting to a (dv) DedicatedVirtual hosting plan from my (gs) GridServer plan. I need more control to manage an increase in clients so this change is a good thing. :D

I’m planning on porting my site over to Mephisto which runs on Rails. I’ll be using my current mediatemple (gs), gridserver, for hosting of course and I found a great tutorial for integrating mediatemple (gs) hosting, using their ruby containers, with Mephisto over at Softamade as well as a great tutorial on Running Mephisto on OSX.

I’m a proud client and supporter of (mt) Media Temple. I’ve tried just about every other hosting solution out there, including running my own server(s), and the (gs) Grid Server hosting solution offered by (mt) Media Temple is by far the best solution for me. Give (mt) Media Temple a try and tell them I sent you!
