SSHFS for OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) [closed]

In the past I used SSHFS to mount drives, so I could easily work on remote machines with software from my machine. However, when I was at the MacFUSE project page, I noticed that SSHFS has been long since deprecated.

What are people using with Mountain Lion to mount drives? Is it built-in to OSX yet, or has some other project completely replaced the functionality brought to us by SSHFS?

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

EDIT: In the past I used "SSHFS GUI" to mount drives. It looks very similar to the the Finder >> Go >> Connect to server... interface.

+1 -> m01 - I'm currently using your solution, but if anyone knows a GUI I would love to hear about it.

OSXFUSE seems to work. I just downloaded the two OSXFUSE and SSHFS packages from http://osxfuse.github.com (the links are on the right hand side), and ran:

sshfs user@host:/dir /mnt/somelocaldirectory 

EDIT: if you want a GUI, you might want to try sshfs-gui, though I haven't tried it myself.

Personally, I'd use Cyberduck, though it doesn't technically do the same as what SSHFS does, but maybe it's enough for your purposes. It will let you browse files that you can access via an ssh connection, and seems to have options for editing them as well.
