MAC to MAC over Internet
Hi All, First I will tell you that I am not a MAC user or owner so please be patient :) I have a friend who runs a small business and they have two MAC computers in the office that are networked together and share files. The main MAC has approx 20,000 files that they share and update. One of the people will be moving away and they want to be able to connect over the Internet to the main MAC and share the files just like they do in the office today. They need to be able to have the master files on the main MAC in the office and allow the other person to easily access and update the master files so they are always up to date on the main MAC. They update 50 to 60 files a day in this manner and want a way to continue to do this when the other person moves away. I have seen many different applications for the PC such as gotomyPC PCanywhere etc but i am not sure how to do this with a MAC to MAC via the Internet. If anyone has any suggestions i would really appreciate the help. Again I am not sure if this is a built in feature in the MAC that they can turn on and use or if they would need an application to do this. Please keep in mind that these people are not MAC gurus and they need something that is simple to install and use. I am not a MAC user and do not live close enough to offer any hands on assistance so they need to be able to do this on their own. thanks for your time.... gene

It appears that you mean to refer to the brand of computers made by Apple. That would be "Mac," short for Macintosh (and not MACintosh." 2. You should know this because you /should/ be using Macs. You would do yourself and the entire on-line community a favor by reducing the amount of spyware, viruses, DOS attacks, and other nasty things that are associated so closely with the Typhoid Mary of Operating Systems. > I have a friend who runs a small business and they have two MAC > computers in the office that are networked together and share files. > The main MAC has approx 20,000 files that they share and update. > > One of the people will be moving away and they want to be able to > connect over the Internet to the main MAC and share the files just > like they do in the office today.

SSH, built into every Mac. Good introduction at <http://itexpress.ucdavis.edu/help/tutorials/openssh.shtml>. There are other solutions. Nothing personal here, but these people should contact a professional Mac consultant rather than a Windoze guy. A Google search that includes the name of the city in which the business is located will most likely be fruitful. Davoud -- usenet *at* davidillig dawt com

Here's the simplest approach, although the article looks to be rather old and may be out of date: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106461 VNC would also be an option, perhaps slightly more complicated to set up but offering a rather better user experience: http://www.redstonesoftware.com/vnc.html Hope this helps!

tim228Mac systems today are all based on a UNIX foundation. More specifically, the BSD variant of UNIX. That said, UNIX based systems have been doing everything the Windows systems have been doing and longer than they have as well. Sharing files can done in number of different ways, using a number of different technologies that exist within UNIX and also within Mac OS X as well. Generally sharing files on a LAN is not a big deal and the most simplistic implementations are generally effective as the LAN is usually not visible to the outside world of the Internet. Sharing files across the Internet, in this concept, a WAN, is more problematic. Generally you want to use protocols that are effective in establishing and maintaining reliable connections, and in addition, you must consider the need to provide a high level of security. One needs to consider the security of the two separate LAN's being opened up to the Internet, and you must also consider the need to secure the connection between the two machines so that data moved back and forth is not compromised. This means something SSH tunnelling being used. This can become an issue to configure as generally, turning on SSH, inherently turns off all other network connections unless specific configuration options are put in place. Another issue that comes up is that most personal and business connections to the Internet are made with floating IP addresses and this means that from day to day, week to week or even sometimes hour to hour, the IP address at one or both ends of the connection is in a state of constant change. This can be addressed by usually paying more to the ISP to get a Static IP address at each end and setting up registered domains with DNS entries handled by the ISP's or, one can make effective use of Dynamic DNS. I hope that this has given you sufficient information to consider for further research or with which to query any consultant that you hire. FWIW, if doing the same with Windows, the considerations are generally the same.

There are two UNIX solutions: - Under Mac OS X.4.7 or later, one can use 'rsync' (with an '-E' option for Mac files), which can be automated using 'crontab', if the computer is made sure to not be in a coma during backup time, say via System Preference/Energy Saver/Options. See the 'man' pages of these two programs. - One can use 'ssh', either from the console (like Terminal), or via Finder GUI in the program Fugu. -- Hans Aberg

Then you just use <afp://<address_of_server_or_router>/ to get access to the shares.

Besides the options already suggested, you might want to have your
friend do some searches over a <http://MacOSXHints.com> for things
like VPN, "ssh appleshare", and any other secure remote sharing
services you can think of.

You just want file access? That's easy ... never mind what I suggested about VNC. Just use the file sharing suggestions of the other posters.

The difficulty with this is that to interface both chips, I need to have two closely coupled and redundant PHY .

What program do I have to use to log in to my G5 from my iBook so that I can, through wi-fi, control iTunes, play DVDs, and run terminal on the G5 on the iBook?

Macs and Mac Users. A Rant.
http://tragicallyunhip.wordpress.com/2008/03/26/macs-and-mac-users-a-rant/ Macs and Mac Users. A Rant. March 26, 2008 tragicallyunhip Yanno. for years we've had to listen to Mac users go on and on and ON in the superior tone about how great Macs are and about how they just never break. Well, let me tell you, I have spent enough years in IT to know they do. A LOT. My last job was at a company whose graphics department was, as you might expect, Mac-based. And I spent just as much time down there working on them as I did ANY PC. But that's just the tip of the iceberg. What about the whole Mav VS PC thing? What about those annoying "I'm a Mac" ads? I tell you, I want to get that obnoxious Mac guy and bash his face in with a $*^&ing hammer! Why do Mac feel the need to slag off PCs just to advertise their own product? Have they got nothing to say about their own hardware and software that speaks for itself? Does everything have to be based on this ridiculous childish anti-PC thing? Yanno what Mac? NOBODY GIVES A SHIT! Get over yourselves. Advertise your product based on its own (limited) merits. Christ, even entering the network properties of a Mac OS to see the PCs you're connected to in your network, the icon for the PCs is a crappy looking old beige monitor with a BSOD error on it!

Phyless MAC to MAC connection
I am on a project where we have an ethernet interface between an MPC8270 with a Wintegra 787 using a phyless MAC-to-MAC connection. On the MPC8270 we are using an FCC for this. I am using VxWorks 5.5 for this project. Can anyone tell me if I need to change VxWorks End Driver to make this happen. From what I understand currently, when the End Driver is initialized there is no initialization string which can indicate that there is no PHY out there. Has anyone implemented this before?

No Mac Help in Mac Help?
When I go to Mac Help in Finder (latest version of OSX Tiger) I get nothing. The window pops up but it's blank. Click on the little house and the initial screen fills in but nothing beyond that. I had a simiar problem with Safari help some time back and someone suggested I remove a folder from Library/Caches, (com.apple.helpui or something similar) and that did the trick for Safari's help. I honestly don't recall if I've ever had the Mac Help or I've just never used it since this machine. The problem happens on or offline so I'm not sure where the Mac Help file resides. I've tried re-installing the original OSX Tiger that came with the machine (G4 Powerbook) but it won't allow me to since I've upgraded to the latest version. The documentation that came with the OSX is more of an advertising brochure than anything that resembles help text. Any suggestions. Could the help file be online somewhere for download?

I just remembered these groups and wondered if someone here could tell me whether what I'd like to do is possible. (NO ONE around here knows anything about Macs) I have a G4 that was the top of the line in 1998. It will die one of these days. It's currently running OS 9.2.2. Someone else(who now lives far away) installed the internal modem, SCSI for my scanner, and my floppy drive (so I didn't have to go through hundreds of them for the bits and pieces I might someday want again). I still have the floppies and a number of Zips, all of which this computer can read. Install...

When is a Mac not a Mac?
This was posted in a forum recently and I thought it brought up some very interesting points relating to the Eula. For reference: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=105546 ------ This question is related to licensing OS X on a machine. The EULA says it has to be an Apple computer, before the Apple License will apply, which means Apple will only support OS X on Apple machines. So, I'm wondering, when is a machine considered an Apple Mac, for the purposes of Licensing and recieving support? Say I buy a Mac from Apple. Then the hard drive fails, and I replace that with an ...
Help! iSync mac to mac
Am I right in saying that with iSync, if you want to sync 2 macs together (address book, iCal etc.) the only way to do this is via a ..Mac account, even if those computers are sitting not 5 feet from each other, both Airport equipped? If this is the case, I've never heard anything so ridiculous. Is this just part of another apple scam to get more money out of us? Does anyone know if this is indeed the case, and can you recommend any other sync software out there?

It's a Mac, Mac, Mac World
I wonder how the Windows users would like my (ab)normal Microsoft-free world: My business: all Mac, no PCs. My dentist, family physician and urologist are all Mac. No PCs. Went to Sir Speedy today for more bus. cards and some binding: all Mac (no surprise there). My daughter's three new college room mates have emailed her. Two have PowerBooks and one has an eMac. (She has a G5 iMac.) I never even see a PC unless I am at the public library or a store using a Windows POS unit. It never was intentional. I don't scout a place to see what frickin' computer they use. Just happened. Kind of weird. -- Arf! Old CSMAer Nice! At work I'm stuck on Windows, plus at home my roommate and girlfrield both use Windows.

MAC to MAC connectivity
Hi, As part of a design that I'm investigating, I am looking at connecting a number of FPGA based MACs to a dedicated broadcom switch chip. The difficulty with this is that to interface both chips, I need to have two closely coupled and redundant PHY . Is it possible to connect two MAC (SGMII) directly point-to-point, bypassing the PHY completely? Or is it necessary to have at least some PHY functionality, even if it is a point to point link?

Mac-to-Mac VPN?
Years ago, I set up a Mac network (under OS9) with a VPN router and some software on a remote PowerBook that allowed VPN access. I'm not terribly familiar with OSX yet, but I understand that much of this functionality is now built in. Can anybody steer me in the right direction as far as hardware, software and configuration? Here's the setup I envision: - Small LAN running two Macs and a printer with a DSL connection through a router. - Remote PowerBook connected to the net varyingly with dial-up, DSL (wired), and AirPort. - Use the PowerBook to securely connect to at l...

When is a Mac no longer a Mac?
OK, so Apple's going to go to Intel CPUs. Now Macs are no longer differentiated by a slow clock and superior instruction set--we've got the same hackjob clusterfuck on speed PCs have been using for decades now. And over the last few years Apple's gone away from SCSI, NuBus, ADB, Localtalk, etc. And PCs have picked up USB, dropped floppies, and colored their cases. The hardware's basically merging between the two platforms. On the software side, the classic MacOS is gone, replaced by Unixy stuff. And like it or not, higher up on the UI level lots of Windows-li...
