Connect two macs over the web

[jefflemon]

How can I connect to my home mac from my work mac over the internet, any tutoirals out there?

I want to be able to share files from work and home. Thanks

Would something like DropBox work for you?

Id rather access the entire HD of each computer rather than having to put all my files in a drop box. Cant you connect via IP or soemthing?

check out logmein, where you can control one mac with another via a browser.

Apple has back to my mac if you're a mobile me member

And finally there is always the trusty vnc to allow control of one mac with another, though this option you may need to monkey with your router to enable port forwarding.

Personally, I use ssh and scp for file transfers. It's easier to reach the machines if you set up something like dyndns.

To remote-control I use logmein.

http://logmein.com works well for me. It's free for personal use.

I second this suggestion. This is the most secure method. I would furthermore suggest:
. use a different port than port 22 (default ssh port)
. use macfuse/sshfs if the CLI gives you a rash

TeamViewer works great for this, whether you're connecting Macs or PCs.
