Mounting Remote Server for editing files on my Mac

My web development server is in the Cloud and I am very new to Macs. On Ubuntu and other flavors of Linux, I would mount the remote drives using sshfs. I have researched SSHFS for Mac and come up with **FUSE for OS x** and **MacFUSE**. I have them both installed but when I attempt to run *man sshfs* on my commandline I get a command not found error. Unless I am missing something, I can't find simple instructions to help me resolve this issue. I have tried **Mount** and **Mount_smbfs** too but I immediately get *server connection failed: operation timed out* errors. My Mac runs on OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63) Can anyone please give me some simple steps to help overcome this obstacle?
