about 25% of the time, ExpanDrive fails to mount the disk on the desktop, although if I cancel and start connecting again, it will work. Also, when this happens, I get a zombie volume left in /Volumes.
When I dismiss ExpanDrive's drive manager dialog using command-W, and I then desire to summon a new Finder window with command-N, I get ExpanDrive's new server connection sheet, disconnected from any window, just showing up in the middle of my screen....
Hi guys, is the expandrive team planning on implementing a way to easily change the drive icons? I know I can change them by manually going into the package and changing them myself, but then I have to update them everytime there's a new release of expandrive, as it overwrites my icons. Thanks.
It seems to have stopped working. In previous versions I was able to drag and re-arrange drives but with 1.3.0 I can't do this any longer. If you need more info or can't reproduce let me know and I'll do what I can to help track this down.
We use confluence wiki (http://atlassian.com) which supports webdav editing. Unfortunately, the mac built-in webdav has a nasty "Feature". When you save a change, it first deletes the server copy, then uploads yours. This has the side effect of totally breaking the revision control in the wiki.
If expandrive directly supported mounting webdav and did it correctly, I'd love you guys forever. I hate having to use transmit...
I've updated my expandrive to 1.3.0 and was happy to test the new ftp feature, but I cannot add any ftp server.
Even if I select ftp in the drive type select menu and specify explicitely the port 21, it always try to connect using sftp protocol.
When I get back to the drive manager and edit my drive, it's always set as an sftp drive.
Did I miss something ? Made something wrong ?
(thanks, by the way for this amazing and efficient software)
I am have problems connecting to my server, i get the error in console.app:
09/10/2008 09 October 15:51:49 com.apple.launchd[130] (org.openbsd.ssh-agent[477]) Exited abnormally: Bus error
09/10/2008 09 October 15:51:49 com.apple.launchd[130] (org.openbsd.ssh-agent) Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
and the server in the drive manager just has the yellow light next to it, and these errors keep coming up every 10secs...
Hello. I've been using ExpanDrive regularly to connect to my files stored on my server in my apartment; a Mac Mini with a external drives connected to it. I've configured it with remote access and have SSH tunneled through my router and all that goodness.
Everything has been working fine until today, where attempting to connect to any of the ExpanDrive mounts I've set up reports:
Could not connect to XXXXX:
Channel Closed
I upgraded that computer to the latest version of OS X 10.5.5 last night, so I suspect it changed something I'm unfamiliar with. I am capable of SSHing into the machine with the same info as before, but none of my ExpanDrive mounts for that machine work correctly. I'm using the latest version of ExpanDrive and have no issues with connecting to other machines.
Have you encountered anything like this? Thoughts?
Expandrive has been starting when my computer boots up since I installed it, many versions ago. I'm looking to turn that off and only open it when I'm ready to use it, and I went into preferences and saw "start at login"...but checked or unchecked that doesn't seem to make a difference. I can't figure out how to stop it from starting at login.
Date Created field is always Dec 31, 1903 8:00 PM. Version 1.2.11 seems to have introduced this behavior on a PPC Mac only [Intel it works fine, same server, etc]. Easy to reproduce, can provide screenshots if needed. Only happens on my G5 systems [iMac and PowerMac G5], connecting to Linux Ubuntu 8.0.4 LTS and 6.0.6 LTS servers.
I use ExpanDrive on my laptop. When I change IP addresses to a new location, the drive icon still shows on the desktop and in directory windows, but it is not connected. Could this be changed so that changing locations behaves as smoothly as re-awakening from sleep? Thanks.
The filter box in the drive manager window is useful. However, it would be even more useful (and intuitive) if it had a standard keyboard shortcut to highlight it, like cmd-f or cmd-opt-f.
I'm a new ExpanDrive user. I'm using ExpanDrive as a way to share files between, my mac and my Linux computers on my LAN. I've configred those box, so that they annouce the sftp service with avahi (a bonjour implementation).
It would be great if ExpanDrive would display those drives in the drive manager (with a special icon to see those bonjour drives ?).
I think it would be great for example to try to connect using the current username and public key , then password, and if failed request for username and password.
I have used Expandrive successfully with versions of FreeBSD6. I recently needed to setup a FreeBSD4 environment for a new project, but for some reason Expandrive won't connect to it properly. I can ssh into FreeBSD4 with no problems via terminal, but neither MacFusion nor Expandrive work.
MacFusion says nothing helpful, and Expandrive just throws a "Could not connect" error with the message "'channel request failed', none." What does that even mean?
ExpanDrive won't connect. The remote drive I'm trying to get to (ageng.pair.com) is configured correctly (the same settings work fine in my SFTP client, Transmit).
Within Drive Manager, the drive shows, and as I try to connect, I see a VERY brief flash of the progress light on the right, and then it goes out. There's no error messages of any kind.
I should note that this worked fine before I reformatted my MacBook Pro's drive, reinstalled Leopard, and copied ExpanDrive over from the backup I made before doing this.
Does ExpanDrive still truncate text files as detailed in http://forum.magnetk.com/index.php/to...? I think MacFuse has gone through updates since that discussion, so is the problem still there?
I was having the truncating text problem when I was using ExpanDrive and my coworker was working on the server or with another SFTP client.
