TUAW Tip: Put iPhone's File System onto your Desktop with sshfs
TUAW has talked before about sshfs, the secure shell file system, and MacFUSE, the OS X implementation of FUSE (File-system in USErspace). So it's not huge news that you can use MacFUSE/sshfs to access the files on your iPhone but it might be an option that you've overlooked. It's certainly convenient. You can open a Finder window and treat your iPhone as another disk drive.
To make this happen, you must first enable ssh on your iPhone. Then, install MacFUSE and run sshfs, which will prompt you for the Server name (enter the iPhone's IP address) and Username (use "root"). Authenticate and, boom, you're good to go. The iPhone appears in your Finder source list as a new connected device.
