This can’t be considered the “latest” in technology, but it’s still worth noting. The great Google engineers have put together MacFUSE, a Mac OS X version of the popular FUSE (File System in User Space), originally created for Linux. FUSE makes it possible to produce a file system interface for different programs. My favorites are the SpotlightFS and sshfs. I’m more comfortable with conversing with different servers via ssh on the command line, but sshfs is probably much more useful for those of us who are new to the CLI.
In fact, sshfs used in tandem with a hosting plan from Dreamhost.com would give you an even better value than Amazon’s S3 and JungleDisk. If you pay up-front a year of of hosting, 200Gigs of storage space and 2 terabytes of bandwidth Dreamhost will cost you $120.
