lifehacker.com — Right now I'm working from my laptop in Austin, and I've got the same full access to my home PC in Los Angeles as Back to My Mac offers, but I didn't spend a dime on .Mac to get it. That's because all of the tools you need to roll your own Back to My Mac are already built into Leopard for free out of the box-you just need to know how to access them

Problems with the article. - He says that ftp file transfers are not encrypted but that they still require a password. This is true, but implies that it's secure. It's not. Username/pass are sent cleartext- He says you only have to open port 21 for ftp. 20 and 21 are required in most cases unless the remote firewall has some application layer logic to work with non-passive FTP.- VNC sends credentials in cleartext.He mentions at the bottom about piping stuff over ssh, or using Hamachi. I would not even consider using this without encryption. Run dsniff on a hotel wireless network and you'll see why.

it only took one try, vpn endpoints aren't a tough networking concept.... so you don't think users can follow straightforward step by step article? thats pretty sad, i thought the digg community was a little more tech savy anyways. i never claimed to be a leet mac hacker, vpn endpoints work for linux and windows too, i was only pointing out that there are much better solutions than a vnc connection... so dont be a dick.

Yeah, because the average Windows user knows all about things like VNC, SSH, and port forwarding. Uh huh.

I am the only one to find the built-in VNC client not to crash? It works pretty well, especially when editing the .plist to get the Remote Desktop features enabled (especially the connection quality slider).

Espeically since SSH Tunnel Manager makes this pretty easy. Well, I think the UI is a bit confusing for a newcomer but once it's setup it's definitely easier than just typing the terminal commands every time. And it's free.

1995 called, they want their new feature back. In fact, I don't even think it was new in 1995.Every OS does this out of the box practically, and I personally like the Microsoft Implementation of Remote Desktop and RDP, which I can access from pretty much anywhere... easily.<a class="user" href="http://game.paramegsoft.com/">http://game.paramegsoft.com/</a><a class="user" href="http://girls.paramegsoft.com/">http://girls.paramegsoft.com/</a><a class="user" href="http://www.paramegsoft.com/">http://www.paramegsoft.com/</a>

I am not going to open up ports on my router so bots can hammer away to try and crack my VNC and FTP password. $100 a year isn't that much and I make that much an a hour.<a class="user" href="http://www.acnetreatment.blogono.com">http://www.acnetreatment.blogono.com</a> <a class="user" href="http://www.iseekblog.com/acnetreatment">http://www.iseekblog.com/acnetreatment</a> <a class="user" href="http://acnetreatment.21publish.com">http://acnetreatment.21publish.com</a> <a class="user" href="http://acnetreatment.tooum.net">http://acnetreatment.tooum.net</a> <a class="user" href="http://360.yahoo.com/bestacnetreatmentreviews">http://360.yahoo.com/bestacnetreatmentreviews</a>
