Given that the entries in that folder are randomly named, the only way to figure out which entry is which (if you only want to delete one) is toĪnd look at the ‘name’ key to find the right one. $ cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/Macfusion/Filesystems

Should you need to do so, the way to do it is to unmount everything, quit Macfusion, open Activity Monitor, find ‘macfusionAgent’ and kill it, then, in terminal, For some reason, you can’t delete filesystems – neither ‘cancel’ nor ‘okay’ on the confirmation work, leaving you to force quit.There are a bunch of bugs, and until I get around to fixing them myself and claiming resume cred, here are some workarounds I’ve found: Macfusion is a two year old, unmaintained project. You can either select a folder with an existing EncFS system or create a new one. When it opens, you can add filesystems from the + menu, as below. (BONUS STEP) Make sure that in Finder’s preferences (open Finder, Finder>Preferences) the ‘Connected Servers’ box is checked under ‘Show these items on the desktop,’ otherwise mounted filesystems won’t appear there and will be difficult or impossible to find.įrom this point on you should have Fuse4X/EncFS/Macfusion all set up and ready to go! To use it, launch Macfusion from /Applications.This installs EncFS support into the Macfusion GUI. Finally, Download and install the EncFS For Macfusion plugin from /encfs/EncFS for Macfusion2.dmg.This provides a lovely interface to mount/unmount filesystems. Download and install Macfusion from ( ).This makes the command to load the kernel module always run as root (necessary to load the module). Run $ sudo chmod +s /Library/Extensions/fuse4x.kext/Support/load_fuse4x.This copies the fuse4x kernel extension into the right spot. Run $ sudo cp -rfX /usr/local/Cellar/fuse4x-kext/0.9.0/Library/Extensions/fuse4x.kext /Library/Extensions.If you’re copying-and-pasting, don’t include the $, it just means ‘beginning of terminal line’

This installs both EncFS and Fuse4X and their dependencies. Open Terminal (cmd-space, type Terminal, enter, although if you don’t know where to find terminal I don’t know what business you have with EncFS).The site is pretty informative on how to do so. This is what I ended up with, and it should take you about 5 minutes to set up, start to finish if you’ve already got homebrew installed.

For some reason, installing and running EncFS on Mac seems to be unnecessarily difficult.
