Hey all - I am trying to figure out a way to access my iMac while on the road using my MB. I have read a lot about VNC/SSH/etc but I am still a little confused.

I know I can subscribe to logmein and it will let me do everything, but I am cheap and don't want to pay for it.

So some questions I have are - What software should I use? Are there any good - one stop - links that tell me how to configure everything?

I have already added a domain with dyndns to deal with the dynamic IP my cable company provides.

And thoughts on an easy - yet secure - way to establish remote access would be great. I want to be able to transfer files etc as well.

Thanks!
