Why can't I connect to my BeagleBone using sshfs from my mac? I can ssh to this ip address just fine. Do I need to somehow create a special mount point? What does it mean that the socket is not connected?

sudo sshfs root@192.168.7.1: /Volumes/
remote host has disconnected
mount_osxfusefs: failed to mount /Volumes@/dev/osxfuse0: Socket is not connected

FYI I installed sshfs using brew cask sshfs

Here's how I've done it in the past. (I'm not sure if it is the same sshfs implementation you used though)

I have a private key (I will call it mykey.pem) Make sure its permissions are 600

I also have a folder that I will mount on (It will be at /usr/remote)

Then I run this:

sshfs -o IdentityFile=/path/to/key/mykey.pem remote_user@ip_address:/remote/folder -o allow_other /usr/remote

I hope this is helpful for your situation.
