OsxFUSE Folder Error for macOS BigSur

OsxFUSE Error

After the intallation of macOS BigSur version 11.0.1 in your Macbook PC, it will be unable to mount the CSF OsxFUSE folder using sshfs. This problem can be solved following:

Step 1: Install the new version of OsxFUSE: Download .dmg file and install it following the guidance, here is the link:

https://github.com/osxfuse/osxfuse/releases/tag/macfuse-4.0.3

Step 2: When you try to mount the folder using sshfs after the installation of MacFuse 4.0.3, you may have this error:

dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/lib/libosxfuse_i64.2.dylib

Step 3: You need to run the following command in Terminal to create a symlink pointing to the new version of the library:

cd /usr/local/lib/
ln -s “libosxfuse.2.dylib” “/usr/local/lib/libosxfuse_i64.2.dylib”

If permission denied, use this command and enter admin password:

sudo ln -s “libfuse.2.dylib” “/usr/local/lib/libosxfuse_i64.2.dylib”

Step 4: sshfs should work well now, mount the folder as normal
