Coda freezes when my Mac sleeps ...

90% of the time, if I leave my Mac and it goes to 'sleep' without first closing any active sites in Coda, when I return and wake up the computers, Coda is frozen and I have to force-quit it and reopen it. Is there a solution to this or do I have to make sure that I close the application if I 'think' I will be away for long, or close all active sites?

Sorry that my follow-up is months late, but I realised that my private key has the wrong CHMOD and so it was not considered secure enough my Mac OS. I was able to set the correct chmod and expandrive has been running in the background like a charm (I even forgot that it was running).

Also, I have been running MacFusion on my Macs and it also mounts SSH locations as drives - spectaculaire!

I had previously added the feedback sticker using a block and then tweaked the visibility using the regular block options. Although your solution lacks the PHP control to visibility that regular blocks have, it is definitely a more user-friendly approach to adding and configuring GetSatisfaction

Learn-on and after the initial steep learning curve, you will find the treasure. Drupal is a very powerful because of the open architecture and the possibilities that are open to you when you exploit the features presented by contrib modules.

Let me know if you have questions

A comment on the question "Authenticating ExpanDrive using Private/Public key pairs" in ExpanDrive:

The cause of the failure to authenticate using keys as opposed to passwords was being caused by the fact that the key file was not secure (CHMOD was too liberal). without attempting login over CLI/SSH, it was not possible to see the error message. So after getting brave, I jumped onto SSH and set the correct SSH, ad it worked like a charm.

Soon after hat worked, I started testing fusion, and MacFusion (google contributed GUI) and that works even better than the paid solution. I no-longer equate OS X with just a nice GUI as it has real power in CLI – idonny, on July 29, 2008 13:30

Authenticating ExpanDrive using Private/Public key pairs

I recently tested and liked the Windows version of SFTPDrive, but I just started using a Mac (love it), and while I was able to use private/public keys to login into SSH locations, I do not see that feature on Expandrive (Mac), and if it is really missing, it is a deal-breaker for me because a number of the servers I have to work with do not provide password as an option and require using Keys to login.

Thanks for a quick response
