I think this is pretty much what is happening to me too, when I try to sync to the webdav over an ssh tunnel. I have port 8080 forwarded to port 80. Then from my laptop, I open an ssh tunnel to my desktop.

Then I put the following url into OF: 127.0.0.1:8080/webdav

From there, I get the same behavior as the folks here. Those weird folders are in the web dav directory, and the sync fails.

I can open the webdav volume fine from the finder or from goliath. I can add files to the folder, and move them out, trash them, etc. But I can't sync OF.

Conversely, if I am within my LAN and using the standard port, the sync works.

If would be great to get this working. SSH may not be as slick as SSL in every respect. But from what I can gather, it's easier to get it configured. It's already built into OSX. And it's a secure way to sync remotely.

I'm guessing that within within the next month or two, there ought to be an ssh client on the iphone that will allow tunneling as well.

It's not as seamless as mobileme. But for people who must retain control of their data (or cheapskates), it would be nice to have this as a more secure option.
