Leopard Screen Sharing Screenshots

[dlastmango]

That's pretty much a common trick with NAT'd firewalls. Say you have four computers, you can SSH into any of them if you teach sshd to listen on a custom port number. Same with VNC, each machine must listen on it's own port number

Where can i learn more about setting up ports to do this type of remote desktop. If I can write down my IP address from my home system, can I access it from work. I have a D-Link Nat router on my network that i want to get past. I want to be able to transfer files from home to work.

Thanks for any assistance or links anyone can provide

I think, if you want an opaque menubar, all you have to do is edit a white bar across the top of your background image. You might even be able to get the rounded edges back, almost, if you make them black (they'll be grey, natch, but closer than nothing).

I really hope they bring that rounded corner back, im gonna miss that one.

This is great for when I need to help my sister out with something as she is in college and I am still at home in high school.

i was thinking kinda the same thing, it would be so much easier to help my mom and sisters with their computers with this

Do we know if Apple is making a Windows client so we can share with Windows users? Otherwise this is completely useless to me since I own a single Mac.

iChat gone?

I would have hoped they'd kept this feature in iChat as you wouldn't have to set up anything.

Can anyone confirm that they have actually taken screen sharing out of iChat??? From what I saw in the latest build iChat still had the UI buttons for it even with this screen sharing in the finder. I really hope they leave it in iChat too.

How does this work? Do you both have to have .mac or be on a network, or can you do it with anyone online? Does it work with PCs or Macs? Is there an audio chat or anything like it was in iChat, or would you have to do that yourself now in addition?

Sorry for going out of the subject, but is the menubar no longer semi-transparent? in this picture it looks like it isn't.

It is semi transparent - just they are using a dark gray background...

yeah, but if the friend you're helping out takes his macbook to the local internet-café to connect to the internet, taking control of his macbook can be hard. iChat would probably have helped there..

I would also much rather prefer this to be in iChat. Even if it is pretty simple in Finder, to have it in Finder all of a sudden makes it seem like something only computer people will do, BUT to have it in iChat suddenly makes it something ANYONE can do.

I'm not talking about me, but i promise you thats the way it will seem to people that are kind of computer shy.

Will "Back to my Mac" from .Mac allow this to work with Macs that are behind routers?

Depends on the router. Some routers and firewalls are configured especially to not forward certain requests. My network at work, for instance, is an abomination. It only allows traffic on three ports, 80, 8080, and 21.

IIf you only knew what I recommend, LOL, it would blow your mind as to all the stuff I would recomment to remove and all the stuff I would recomment to turn off. I would recommend a image disk with all the stuff removed be created and use to image all the machines. I would also run jobs in the middle of the night to ensure that none of the software has been changed and that no app has been installed. If you were to find a way to install something, next morning the security team would be excorting you out the door.

And after you have security escort all of the company's creative talent from the building, you'll be the next person fired. Or the company will collapse when all of the skilled people are replaced with mindless drones.

It's not too unusual in the financial companies and some government agencies to do exactly that - although they simply re-image from the golden image every night.

I would hope for your personal use it would, but I also hope that through iChat you can send invites, etc. to friends/family.

I have family and friends all over some with routers, some directly connected, this and that. Being able to have them send me an invite to share their screen would be priceless.

I'm no programmer, but could the remote desktop be done is a framework or something so that other applications could use it also (specifically I am thinking of Adium ?)
