Can I share a folder on my mac so others (outside my home) can access it

I am working on a family project on Power Point and was wondering if there was a way to share this over the Internet so family can access it to help me with some editing etc.

Yes, use Goodreader on iPad, there you can sync anything over iTunes

  • How to screen share a Tiger iBook from a Leopard iMac outside my home LAN

    Okay, I have recently installed Tiger on my girlfriends G3 iBook, and I am able to control it from my iMac via Screensharing, but so far I have only tried this while they are both on my home network, (the iBook is using an ethernet connection from my iMac which itself is connected to the internet via Airport)
    What I am hoping someone can do for me is to give me step by step guide on how I would control the iBook when it is connected to the internet outside my home LAN.
    I have seen a tutorial for Chicken Of The VNC, but I am still in the dark as to whether I need to install this on my Leopard iMac, or on the Tiger iBook. I am also concerned about the security risks inherent in doing this, so I would like to learn how make a secure connection from the outside world.
    I am completely clueless when it comes to port forwarding, or anything to do with ports for that matter,
    I would be massively grateful if someone could talk me through this.

    The easy way is to use something like LogMeIn.com, YuuGuu.com, CoPilot.com, Timbuktu, TeamViewer.com. Some of these are free for non-commercial use.
    They figure out how to deal with home routers, and provide encrypted connections. The down side is that they are not always fast.
    Using a secure VNC connection tends to involve either setting up a VPN server on the remote system, or using ssh tunnels. I'm an ssh tunnel person myself, but it has lots of steps.
    a) Enable Sharing -> Remote Login on the remote system (enables ssh logins).
    a.1) give the remote system a secure password.
    b) enable the VNC server on the remote system (Sharing -> Apple Remote Desktop)
    b.1) Via Apple Remote Desktop configuration, give VNC access a password.
    b.2) Optionally use a different VNC server, for example Vine Server.
    c) Configure the remote system's home router to "Forward Port 22" from the internet to the target system.
    d) Using something like whatismyip.com get the internet visible IP address of the remote system.
    d.1) optionally get a free dyndns.org or no-ip.com dynamic domain name and run a dynamic DNS update client on the remote system.
    e) On your system, start an ssh connection to the remote system
    ssh -l user -L 5900:127.0.0.1:5900 remote.sys.ip.addr
    Password: ........
    f) Use your VNC client to connect to the ssh tunnel using
    127.0.0.1:5900
    as the ssh tunnel address.
    g) Enter the remote system's VNC password (separate from the ssh username password).
    I have left out a lot of details. But knowing the steps, you can most likely do google lookups to get the details you need.

  • How do I set up a static IP on Airport Express so I can activate the Connet my Mac App from outside my network?

    How do I set up a static IP on Airport Express so I can activate and use the Connect My Mac app from outside my home network?

    You will need to enable file sharing in System Preferences
    as well as setting up sharing and permissions for the
    directories that you want shared.  You may also want to
    setup a non-administrative user or allow limited guest
    access.  The user would require entering a user name and
    password to make the connection, but would allow remotes
    to change files, if set up tat way.
    As for serving iTunes media, better to post in the iTunes forum.

  • How can I share a folder between two users on the same mac?

    Hi all,
    I would like to share a folder between multiple users on the same macbook without having to transfer the folder to the Public/Shared folder.
    Is there not a way, using the the folders shared permissions, to allow shared folders from one user to be visible and usable by another user on the same mac without having to move the folder to a designated shared location?
    Regards,
    Caleb

    No, you just need to do it once and that's it. Anything that is in the Shared folder is accessible by all user accounts within the same Mac.

    Can you give me an example of such a blog. I suspect you may have mis-understood what they were saying but if you can provide a link, I'll look at it.

  • How can I share a folder between two users on the same iMac?

    I have an iMac with 2 user accounts and I want to share a folder between them. I have gone on to system preferences>sharing and turned on file sharing. I have also got the 'Get Info' thing up, selected 'Shared Folder' and added the other user to the read and write permissions...it just doesn't show up on the other desktop (the folder is on my desktop, I would have expected to see it on the other desktop...?)
    Any ideas?

  • How do I share a folder on mac mini with other macs in the network?

    Howdy all!
    The scenario I have in mind is that I have one folder in our Mac Mini (used as Home Theater) with all the family's music files on it. The rest of the family would be able to access the folder and copy the music they prefer onto their own computers (iMacs and Macbooks). The other computers would have read only access, they would not be able to alter the contents of the original file (to prevent accidental deletion). Only the user of the Mini Home Theater could alter the contents of said file.
    I have tried pulling up the "Get Info" window and clicking the "Shared Folder" and "Locked" boxes, but all this seems to do is make the user of the Mac Mini unable to alter the contents of the folder. All the other macs on the network can access and alter the folder contents no problem.
    What am I missing?
    Thank you for any advice you can give!

    This isn't quite what I was looking for. I don't want to share the folder with users on the same computer--I want to share the folder with users on other computers.
    Unless there is some way to identify users on other computers. How can I do that?

  • Windows Users can access shares but Macs Can't

    Running 10.8 on the server and here is the below problem I am having
    1. Windows users can access the file shares read/write (even though they create permissions wrong, another day to takle that since I already tried ACL)
    2. Macs running 10.8 and Mavericks
         Open the server in finder on a user machine. Can sometimes see the two share folders. Other times just get the spinning wheel.
         Now if you are so brave to click on the folder then finder will spin forever.
         It locks finder up so hard that you can't shut down the machine without holding the power button. Other programs will run just fine, it only affects finder.
    I tried connecting from the mac with smb:// to see if it is an AFP issue but it just sits on connecting forever.
    I looked through the logs and don't see anything. But my knowledge of logs is terrible.
    Any help would be great.
    Thanks

  • HT3819 Home Share issue: I have a Mac and Apple TV. Both are log into the same Wifi network and the same iTunes account (I can view purchased movies on AppleTV). Home Sharing shows 'ON' for both devices. BUT...AppleTV shows no computers. Itunes sidebar-no

    Has anyone else found solution to Apple devices not 'seeing' each other on Home Share?  I have a Macbook Air (new Nov'12) and Apple TV (new Dec'12). Software updated on both. Both are logged into the same Wifi network and the same iTunes account (I can view movies purchased from iTunes on my AppleTV). Home Sharing shows 'ON' for both devices. BUT...AppleTV shows no computers... and ... Itunes sidebar does not have a 'Shared' area at all.  Help please as without this functionality, my Apple TV only provides portal to purchased (i.e. Netflix,...) content which I can get from Wii or Xbox.
    I have already tried the following without success:
    1. Homeshare DID work the first day after I setup Apple TV... but the next day it has not worked since then.
    2. Powered off 30 sec then re-started (Apple TV & Macbook & iTunes login)
    3. Checked Firewall settings per Home Sharing troubleshooting guide (correct settings)
    4. Turning on Photostream in iPhoto and selecting iPhoto within iTunes and then checking to see if Photostream shows anything on AppleTV (it shows 'on' for my iTunes account but 'Zero' pictures found ... despite the >3,000 pictures showing avail in iTunes).
    I also have 'Remote" app on my iPhone 4, with Home Sharing turned on (same Wifi network)... it has a very similar message as the Apple TV and same result that despite all devices having HomeShare 'on' they cannot see each other:  "Remote will automatically find the iTunes libraries and Apple TVs that have Home Sharing turned on using the account xxxx (it lists my correct itunes account name)."

    I solved this by reset of the Wifi (unplug cable and power to both modem and wifi ... wait 60 sec ... plug in modem cable and power ... plug in wifi power and LAN to modem ... restart AppleTV and Mac ... Turn Home Share 'OFF' in iTunes then back "ON" ... it took ~60 sec for the AppleTV to pick up my Mac in computers.

    I have an external network hard drive with a shared music folder (WD MyBookLive), which I can access from Home Sharing and play music on my Windows computers.

  • I want to share a folder of images with a client who is also using bridge. I want the client to be able to edit metadata and rate the image. How can I do this?

    I want to share a folder of images with a client who is also using bridge. I want the client to be able to edit metadata and rate the image. How can I do this?

    Metadata won't be a problem as long as you use Bridge to copy the file from within Bridge to whatever media (flash drive, CD/DVD. email, etc) you plan to use for the sharing.
    I'm not sure about the Label part.  Maybe it will travel along too.

  • Hello, how I can share the 3G iPad on Mac? Hola, ¿cómo puedo compartir el 3g del iPad en el Mac?

    Hello, how I can share the 3G iPad on Mac?

    Again
    For months not believe me look at iCloud in the "find my iphone" and has appeared to me that I sold the Mac but offline.
    I selected "remove the device". I hope that no longer appears.
    I've been looking and say to disable the "find my iPhone / Mac"
    http://www.actualidadipad.com/como-desactivar-el-bloqueo-de-activacion-de-buscar -mi-iphone
    http://www.esferaiphone.com/iphone/que-hay-que-tener-en-cuenta-a-la-hora-de-comp rarvender-un-iphoneipad-de-segunda-mano
    Once deactivated the next step is very important: disable option in iCloud Find My iPhone: Settings / iCloud / Find My iPhone. If you do not do this the buyer can not use the device when you receive it and to be an iOS device "stolen".
    Note: If you did not know step 3 and the new owner already has the device, you can turn off iCloud.com from accessing your data with iCloud and entering the "Search". It is important that the device in question is on and connected to a Wi-Fi network. From there you desplegaréis the list of "My Devices" from the top and seleccionaréis the device to remove. Only lacking click on "Delete my account" should already be all erased or "Delete iPhone / iPad" if ye what not. When ready just have to desvncular device account. Now the new owner and may re-activate your iPhone from iTunes.
    I will contact with the owner, who sold it a while longer and do not understand it comes out and you delete: https://supportprofile.apple.com/
    Or do not use it ... or not known to have activated the "search" with my account.

    hello i accidentally synced all my photos from Iphoto and they doubled, i removed them all eventually to re-import them again, but i have no camera folder anymore and i have a folder called "From Mac" how can i turn it back to normal?

    That is normal for photos synced from a computer to a phone using iTunes. Synced photos were never placed in the Camera Roll. Additionally since iOS 8 there is no Camera Roll: http://appleinsider.com/articles/14/09/19/goodbye-camera-roll-where-to-find-your -photos-in-ios-8
