remote connections to os x

[msjones]

Ive done a forum search but everything lately is for ipad connections.

I have my router forward to dydns and all my ports for ftp, ssh, vnc open both on my mac and router.

I am able to access my mac using VNC from any computer I get access to, its just so slow. Is there a free faster alternative? Something like apple remote desktop without the price tag?

I mainly log on to run my usenet downloads or to encode video for when I get home ready to watch. Its very doable with my current method, but I wouldnt mind some extra speed.

thanks in advance!

ive used teamviewer for supporting remote windows pcs for work. it's just getting the access codes from the remote mac depending where I am. Though I could get them first through the VNC.

Most of the machines I use away from home are linux based, does teamviewer run well in wine?

It runs well in Windows and Mac OS X. Haven't tried it with wine, just a cold Corona or shot of tequila. 😀

Just took a peek at the website - they have a linux version

use the built-in VNC feature if it has 10.4: go into System Preferences -> Sharing -> Remote Desktop or use remote desktop software. There is an option in the configuration for VNC connections which you can enable. remote desktop connection
