    I have issues trusting SSHFS. It's never been stable enough for me. Maybe it's because I have to go through at least one ssh proxy, in addition to a VPN. Maybe it's that the remote filesystem is slow enough, so trying to do anything remotely is very slow.

    But really, it think it's that I'm already in a terminal connected to a remote system. I don't want to have to go to a different terminal to try and transfer data that I'm already looking at. And trying to use a Finder window (or explorer) to navigate a complex remote filesystem hierarchy isn't fun.

    Occasionally I can do my work locally, but usually the data is large enough that I have to do my work on a remote server/cluster. When I generate figures describing my data, I want to see those locally. This particular use-case could be solved by using something like Xpdf, but it's easier to send the figure back to my local machine and view it with Preview.app.

    I also sometimes do need to send datafiles back to my local computer. In these cases, I could use sshfs (but don't like the duelling terminals) or scp (but my file paths can be long and complicated, so typing out paths is a pain). I used to actually just handle this with Dropbox. I'd have a program that would send files to a specific Dropbox folder and that would then sync to my local computer. That worked well, but the delay between syncing was an issue.

    Here's the code/project I wrote to manage this: https://github.com/mbreese/rtun
