HT1461 Remote Login and sharing

We are trying to remote login and shareing with network computers and have not been successful. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Lots of people have been successful, so it does work.
Can you explain where you want to share from and to (local, across the Internet, via VPN, etc...)
Can you tell us what you tried.
Sharing within the same network is a easy as enabling System Preferences -> Sharing
Remote Login for ssh
Screen Sharing for, well screen sharing
File Sharing
Sharing across the Internet is best done using iCloud and Back-to-my-Mac, assuming you are running Lion 10.7.2 (or newer).
If you do not have that version with all Macs involved, or you are using mixed systems, then we need to know what.
The least troublesome across the Internet screen sharing and file transfer would be TeamViewer.com, and it is cross platform..
Once you give us more details, we can tailor the advise to your needs.

  • Remote Login and Password no longer being stored

    I don't know if this is a coincidence or not, but ever since

  • Is there a way to access remote login and screen sharing logs?

    I have a very high suspicion that my macbook air has been accessed through remote login. Here's what happened. I closed my macbook air, letting it sleep, and left my house. After coming back I found it logged into the Guest account (which I didn't know was enabled). Remote login, Remote sharing and file sharing were enabled but I disabled them. I can't remember enabling them but maybe I did.
    I am also on a local network with about 8 other devices connected. I looked through /private/var/log/system.log but couldn't find anything concrete. I have yet to log out of the guest account and have connected to another internet connection just to be on the safe side. 
    My other user account is passworded and I could switch back to it from guest.
    So if my macbook was accessed through remote login, is there a way to tell from what IP address it came from?
    Please help me get to the bottom of this.

    I guess if it did happen it would have said so. Thanks anyway.

  • Sending the Password with remote Login and don't insert login data manually

    Hello,
    I want to do a remote function call on another SAP System. But I don't want to insert the other login data (user, password) manually. Is there a possibility to do this. Thanks.
    Regards, Lars.

    Hi Lars,
    You need to create RFC detsination in the other SAP System. And you need to set up RFC Trusted/Trusting Systems using transaction code SMT1.

  • 10.6.2 Breaks Remote Login and Ping

    Hi,
    I've just upgraded my MacBook to 10.6.2. The upgrade went successfully but now I can't ping my laptop. Also, I can't log into it via SSH. I've tried disabling the Firewall but this has no effect. I've also seen exactly the same problem with a Mac Mini...
    Has anyone else seen this and found a way around it...?
    J

    I came on here to post the exact problem.
    I had reformatted my computer to reinstall 10.6. (It's a long story, but basically my installation was bad.) Anyway, I had logged into my computer via SSH to install system updates and iLife '09 from work. I did the first round of updates, restarted, and did the second round along with iLife '09. After I rebooted, I couldn't reconnect. I thought my computer had died. I came home expecting a failed hard drive or something, but everything was fine.
    I've tried turning SSH on and off, firewall on and off. My router and settings are fine -- clearly it was either the second round of system updates or iLife '09. Any ideas?

  • Remote Login and Apple Remote Desktop

    I have two macs: Macbook at home and iMac for the road. I know that it is possible to control my iMac while I'm on the road. I know I have to forward Ports 22, 5900, 3283 to do so. I also have Chicken of the VNC. I have an Actiontec Modem as well as an Airport Extreme Basestation (AEBS). Both the Macbook and iMac connect to the internet via Airport at home. Here are my questions: do I need a static IP on the Actiontec modem or on the AEBS? And on which device do I need to forward the ports; the modem of the AEBS? Lastly how do I do this? I've read many sections on www.portforwarding.com and I'm still not making any progress. At this point I don't want to make changes cuz I don't wanna screw anything up. What am I doing wrong?

    My post here may help. http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=4504396#4504396
    No need to forward port 22 with Chicken of the VNC you really don't need to port forward at all if your only trying to control 1 machine. "Enable default host" in your NAT setting (the IP of the Mac your wanting to control)

  • System preferences remote login address naming HELP PLEASE

    Hello,
    This problem is driving me crazy... Enabling Remote Login (under Sharing Preferences) gives me a note that "To log in to this computer remotely, type ssh [email protected]". The problem is the part of the address named "wrongname".  I have no idea where it is picking this up. I've gone back under the networking preferences and confirmed it's not coming from there. The netbios name by the way is "CARLS-MACBKPRO1". Enabling file sharing gives me the same "wrongname". Any idea where this is coming from and how do I fix it?
    Running 10.7.3 on a Macbook Pro.
    Thanks in advance.
    Carl

    The question is how are you trying to connect to the server? and where are you testing from?
    You say you can 'log-in to the Mac-Mini from the internal network', but what protocol are you using?
    The ports you've opened are for web (80), FTP (21) and SSH (22), so if you're using any other protocol (e.g. AFP for file sharing), it won't work.
    So, you need to decide what protocol you want to use and forward the appropriate ports. For example, if you do want to use AFP to transfer files, you'll need to open port 548.
    An alternative is to just use port 22 and use SSH tunneling to tunnel other protocols over a secure connection (normal AFP, web, etc. traffic is not secure and tunneling these protocols over an SSH connection provides an enhanced level of security.

  • Can't Set Remote Login OFF via Send Unix Command systemsetup

    Trying to use the System Setup->Remote Login template in ARD to turn off Remote Login (SSH) in Sharing panel of System Preferences on Mac that is administered through Apple Remote Desktop.
    In Apple Remote Desktop (ARD), I select the client machine, then choose "Send Unix Command..." from the "Manage" menu. In resultant window, I pick "System Setup->Remote Login (SSH) from the "Template" drop down box in the upper right. That populates the upper window with Unix commands. I edit/change the "on" to "off" and tell the dialog to Run command as User: root, then click on "Send" button.
    Progress bar goes forever with no change.
    I can turn off Remote Login via ARD by controlling each client machine via an ARD WINDOW, then navigating to the Sharing Preference pane, but that process is tedious when performing for multiple client Macs.
    Strange, but I CAN use the "Send Unix Command..." outlined above to turn ON Remote Login, and get the status of Remote Login ("systemsetup -getremotelogin"). Just can't turn OFF Remote Login (quickly/efficiently).
    man systemsetup suggests I need to write the command as "setremotelogin -f off" but that failed with an improper command syntax error.
    Thoughts?

    It’s waiting for you to type a confirmation. If you run this command on the command line normally, you’ll see the message:
    Do you really want to turn remote login off? If you do, you will lose this connection and can only turn it back on locally at the server (yes/no)?
    Use this command instead:
    systemsetup -f -setremotelogin off

  • Remote connection, screen sharing, etc question

    I'd like to remotely connect to my desktop either from a PC or another mac that isn't on my local network. I have a domain name registers, and i'd like to use this domain (godaddy.com) and just be able to type afp/smb/ssh (depending on if I'm on a mac or pc) and hhtp://www.mydomian.com and instantly get to my computer to change downloads and get files from an external drive, my OSX main disk, etc. I have a MobileMe account to, if thats any help. if I cant use my domain and somehow point it to my dynamic IP, I can use dyndns.
    thanks

    how would I set this up? do I forward 5900 (is that the ssh port?) and 22 on my router? or after that type ssh www.mydomain.com:5900? I'm not sure how to enable the ssh capability. I have remote management, screen sharing, file sharing, remote login, and web sharing enabled in settings, do i need anything else enabled, which ports exactly should I enable?
    Assuming you want to maintain secure connections over the internet, I would suggest configuring your home router to forward a random high numbered port to your target home system's port 22. Most home routers allow this, but how to do it varies from manufacture to manufacture. A Google Search will most likely find instructions for your model router.
    So lets assume you choose internet port 12345 to forward. Making an connect to your home system from the outside world would looks something like:
    ssh -p 12345 [email protected]
    That gives you an interactive shell login to your system.
    If you wish to tunnel a screen sharing VNC session you would use something like:
    ssh -p 12345 -L 5901:localhost:5900 [email protected]
    Then using your VNC client of choice you would connect to
    localhost:5901
    Your VNC client would then talk to local port 5901, ssh would send this to the remote system's port 5900 which is the default VNC server port.
    Using ssh to tunnel other protocols is done in a similar way, only the ports used will be different. Since I have only personally tunneled screen sharing, I'm not going to try to explain how to tunnel other protocols.
    NOTE: You can specify as many ssh -L options on the command line as you like. Also the SSHTunnel utility can help you setup ssh tunnels.

  • Dual Monitor remote login

    Hello,
    I use a Windows 7 Enterprise PC at work with dual monitors, I work from home on a regular basis and I use a Macbook Pro with Mountain Lion.
    I need to know if there is a way to remote login and use a dual monitor as well, when I have 2 monitors hooked on my Macbook pro, the remote login window only appears in one of them, is there a way to have it split like I have it at work? I really need to use 2 monitors remotely connected to my PC at work in order to split my work on both monitors.
    Thanks for the help!

  • Hi SAP Remote Login

    Hi all,
    I am getting training in SAP ABAP and in the training institute there is SAP software, is it possible for me to login to the SAP software by Remote Login.. What are the steps I need to follow?.  I asked my instructor about the Remote Login facility and he said he dont know how to connect to the SAP software.  Let me know how I can connect the SAP software which is in my institute to have a Remote Login and study from home.  Also, the training institute is not very big organisation, its a small place giving training to about 10 students at any given time..So how can I achieve Remote Login in this case??
    What are the steps that I need to follow in order to access the software.
    Please reply me as soon as possible.
    Regards,
        -Ashok Patel

    Hi Ashok,
    <b>Please reward and close your previous post with the title 'Hi SAP Installation ??????'.</b>
    I am assuming this is the same question as that one. you need to install SAPGUI on your laptop/computer-at-home. You then need the 'saplogon.ini' file from your company's windows directory and put that in your windows directory.
    Above all, you need network access to your company from your home. Ask your network administrator about how you can achieve that.

  • Screen Sharing and Remote Login suddenly stopped working

    I have had Screen Sharing and Remote Login turned on on my iMac for several weeks and they have been working fine up until now. I have been accessing the computer via VNC programs and command-line ssh logins from other computers on the same local network. When I tried to connect today, i was given the following error message.
    ssh: connect to host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx port 22: No route to host
    I have all of the required settings turned on in System preferences and there are no firewalls or router settings blocking it. I connected the two computers together via ethernet cable and the error message still occurred.
    I can ssh from the machine to 127.0.0.1, so the ssh server is running. I can ssh to other locations from the laptop i am attempting to connect with, so that's not the problem either. I just spent an hour on the phone with the apple tech support line and they couldn't figure anything out either. Can anybody figure something out?

    have you tried the obvious - restarting the computers involved and the router?

  • After Clean Install of Yosemite, Screen Sharing & Remote Login are turned on in Sharing preferences

    Do you guys know if this is a bug?
    I created a custom USB Yosemite installer using the 'createinstallmedia' binary inside the Yosemite installer.
    Booted iMac with this USB installer and proceeded to install Yosemite (fresh formatted drive). No problems.
    When I log in however, and check the Sharing PreferencePane, both Screen Sharing and Remote Login are turned on.
    I've tried this multiple times (repartitioning the drive each time and I have created the installer media twice).
    I'm posting this I guess more as a report as the solution is simple enough (uncheck these services).
    But it's definitely a security risk.

    Just 2 minutes before I received your reply I solved the problem.  I have been running a software firewall (DoorStop X) on the Mac Pro.  It turns out that I had not allowed traffic over two ports necessary for Home Sharing– port 3689 and udp port 5353.  When I corrected this everything is back to normal.
    I did the clean install because I've been having intermittent problems with several apps including Compressor, Safari, and to a lesser extent FCP.  I've been contemplating doing this for several months because of all the garbage that has collected on my system over several years since I last started from scratch.  I have a bad habit of installing things that add kext files and otherwise modify the OS.  I decided to get rid of all that stuff.  I'm glad I did.  All the problems I was having seem to have resolved.  Safari runs 3x faster than it ever has.  And I no longer have the headaches that Compressor was giving me.  I think I'll take better care of my system from now on.

  • How can I login remotely (not screen sharing)

    Hi
    Is there a way I can login to my desktop (running 10.8.2) and work remotely - without screen sharing?
    I am talking about full desktop access, logged in remotely, without disturbing the session of another user who is logged in, and physically in front of the computer.
    I have spent a long time googling and cannot figure out if such a solution exists, either within the base OS, Apple Remote Desktop, or commercial solutions.
    In an ideal world such a solution would also be cross-platform so that the remote client could be either Mac or Windows.
    Thanks for any guidance.

    I answered my own question.
    By setting up another account it is possible to remote login with a VNC client. When connecting to the mac the login screen is presented. Provided that you login to an account that is not the front account running on the mac, that session is not disturbed.
    Thus it is possible to run with full access to apps and data, on another account and session separate from the session that is already logged on.
    However, if during that VNC session you switch users and login to the front account, you now will be the only session and will be controlling that screen. After that point you have to disconnect the VNC client, and re-log back in in order to leave the front account undistrubed.
