SSHFS - An easy secure way access files remotely

hi all.  i posted a couple questions about this inside a couple threads, but figured it would be good to create a separate post for it.

sshfs is a file system client based on ssh (go figure).  it's based on FUSE in the linux world (http://fuse.sourceforge.net/sshfs.html), and was implemented on the Mac platform recently (http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/). the lovely thing about this, is it gives the ability for simple abstraction of command line operations such as scp, etc. 

since i'm a mac guy, when i'm away from home, i currently use this sshfs client (http://macfuse.googlecode.com/files/sshfs-0.1.0.dmg) to connect to a box at home and have instant access to all my files (docs, mp3s, etc) on my local network via Finder.  by using consistent volume names, itunes doesn't know if i'm home or not and i have access to my entire music library (which is currently stored on my dns323) wherever i am.

following the great thread about getting ssh running on the 323, i'm now able to connect via the command line, but for reasons beyond my comprehension, the sshfs client is unable to read the device.  i don't know if it's because of the ash shell or what, but would love some help or input.

if i get this working, i can cut out the intermediate box completely.  would be a nice solution for people looking for some sort of vpn or sftp capability to their dns323s.

thx.

btw, i'm going to keep poking around at this.  if i get it working, i'll post something in the wiki.

Mayby its just me, but why dont you just chroot a debian, and then install sshd - then you are up and running with scp, sftp capabilities

i've got dropbear running.  i can do all of that now...  sshfs is FAR more convenient and appears as a volume locally (benefit is itunes is unaware i'm not working on my local network).
