Securely mount AppleShare volumes in one step

Rather that a) subverting your company's firewall which is not just a bad idea but may get you fired and b) enabling and opening an additional service on your desktop (AFP), why not mount the files directly over SSH with something like MacFUSE?

I would stick to proven technologies for real-world use (SSH, AppleShare, Samba) over MacFuse. I've used MacFUSE directly, MACFUSE_FS_SSHFS, and MacFusion to connect to SSH, and all had some buggy behavior.

Hmm. I use sshfs via MacFuse daily for my work. It has been very stable.

In fact, this is a more stable way of connecting than using SMB, I have found.

This hint does not "subverting your company's firewall". This only tunnels allowed protocols via a secure means to outside. Just like VNC.
