However, sometimes a researcher would benefit from mounting the cluster to their desktop (Windows, Mac, Linux). As a courtesy, here are links to tools one can install on a desktop (Windows, Mac) to enable this:
- http://dokan-dev.net/en/about/ (Windows only; free)
- http://dokan-dev.net/en/download/
- http://dokan-dev.net/en/2011/01/12/dokan-sshfs-0-6-0-released/ (This most recent post, as of 2/13/15, is from Jan 2011, re: v.0.6.0. Beware of obsolescence!)
- https://www.eldos.com/sftp-net-drive/comparison.php (Windows only. The free version is used by two researchers in CCB already, for this purpose)
- http://linhost.info/2012/09/sshfs-in-windows/ (perhaps useful install how-to)
- http://osxfuse.github.io/ (Mac only; free. Must download both FUSE and SSHFS from this site.)
- sshfs(1) - Linux man page (Linux, Mac; via FUSE)
- http://www.webdrive.com/purchase/ (Mac and Windows; no free version)
- http://www.expandrive.com/expandrive (Mac and Windows (Linux coming?); no free version)
- http://panic.com/transmit/ (Mac only; no free version)

- Please let ChemIT know how well the above referred-to tools work (or don't work!) for you so we can share your experience with other researchers.
- Also, please let us know know how this page can change. For example, add links to other tools or resources. Your colleagues and other researchers will thank you!
