I am trying to permanently mount a volume via sshfs on mac. I have tried to follow the instructions in how-to-get-automount-and-sshfs-osxfuse-working-with-yosemite (Although I have Sierra, I couldn't find instructions for it so I thought to give it a try with Yosemite instructions). However I get stuck at this step:

If you do not see mount_sshfs, then you need to do this step. This is a critical step because it is easily forgotten and may create headaches. sudo ln -s $(which sshfs) /sbin/mount_sshfs.

Here is the error:

$ sudo ln -s $(which sshfs) /sbin/mount_sshfs
ln: /sbin/mount_sshfs: Operation not permitted

I couldn't find the way to solve this.

  • Apple has locked down the OS in Sierra. Even sudo su does not work. Makes one wonder why apple still calls it sudo??? Why have sudo at all... – sijpkes Jan 19 '18 at 00:59

Apple protects some critical folders by "System Integrity Protection (SIP)", you can temporarily disable it with the instructions given here https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/208478/how-do-i-disable-system-integrity-protection-sip-aka-rootless-on-macos-os-x
