Parachute - Sync folders over the internet

Hi all,
Over the last few weeks I've created a file synchronisation program in Java (called Parachute). The program will connect to another instance of itself running on another machine on the network (or internet), (i.e. it is both the client and the server) and will keep the contents of two directories synchronised.
For example, you and your friend can run the program, and all you have to do to send a file to your friend is drop it in a folder (you choose which folder when you start Parachute). Of course, it will recursively send and receive files, mirroring the directory structure of the shared folders.
If you ever used 'Sharing Folders' in MSN messenger you'll know how useful and easy this is to use, and what with Microsoft dropping that feature from the latest version of Windows Live Messenger, I thought it time to fire up Eclipse and get cracking.
THE CHASE:
I'm telling you this because I want to know if anyone is interested in helping me improve it, perhaps getting a sourceforge page started or something, or if you're interested in using Parachute or seeing it's source code let me know
P.S.
For all the programmers out there, the program has examples of:
Threading
Sending/Receiving files over sockets
Swing/GUI stuff like progressbars etc

Hi,
I am also looking for same kind of solution for my project can you plz share how you are proceeding
Thanks

Can you sync ATV over the internet?

Is it possible to sync ATV over the internet?
If so how do you accomplish this?

I would like to know what kind or brand or VPN you are using? IPSec, PPTP, L2TP. Regular IPSec does not support passing GRE and multicast datagram packets. This is how bonjour works. PPTP is a layer 2 protocol and should pass GRE just fine.
There is another method I am examining. Using an SSH tunnel. I've actually gotten iTunes sharing working over the net using Fugu and Network Beacon. The process is a little difficult to understand at first but it works perfectly. Essentially you create a tunnel to your local mac and "host" the tunnel on the remote mac that has iTunes. Then you create a mDNS beacon via network beacon that lists an iTunes share at the port specified (3689). Again, it's weird at first but one you get it it works perfectly.
I am investigating using the same method for the apple tv. The problem is the Apple TV uses 3 different bonjour beacons to work. One for pairing, one for recognition, and one for syncing. Pain in the butt. I am using bonjour browser to monitor the apple tv process. In theory, the SSH tunnel should work just fine. One would then need to hack the AppleTV to enable SSH on the device. The device would host the tunnel. Then create the needed mDNS beacons and sync from a distance. Easier said than done I suspect.
The free VPN client from LogMeIn.com is another potential as it specifically supports GRE and multicast data gram packets.
Cross our fingers.

Replication Manager - Syncing mdb databases over the Internet

Hai
I am new to access replication. I have been given the task of syncing two .mdb access 2000 databases with eachother over the internet using Replication Manager 4.0. I keep getting no or little reference on how to to this and was hoping I can get a full tutorial

I think SQL*Net uses port 1525.

Can you: Sync Calendar, Contacts, & Tasks over the internet?

Hey!
We have a iMac and love it. I am primarily a PC user at work and am used to a windows mobile device that syncs Contacts, Calendar, & tasks over the internet.
As stated we have the iMac. I also have the .Mac account which currently publishes our calendar to a read only web site.
Here's the Q's I have as a perspective buyer:
Can the iPhone sync up with the calendar on my Mac?
Can the iPhone sync up contacts with my Mac?
Can the iPhone sync up tasks with my Mac?
*When I use the term "sync" I mean that if I update something on the mac, it shows up automatically on thie iPhone and when I enter an item into the iPhone it shows up on the Mac.*

No. The iPhone does not support any Over the Air (OTA) syncing at this time. With the 2.0 release in June the iPhone will support OTA syncing with Exchange servers.

Is it possible to Have a Catalog sync across Two computers over the internet?

Is it possible to Have a Elements 12 Catalog sync across Two computers over the internet? I have a laptop I use in the Field when I take pictures and a Desktop at my house that I use to Edit the Photos. I would like the Catalog Synced across both computers. IE I download pictures from the Camera onto the laptop and they automatically sync over to the desktop then when I edit the pictures on the Desktop they go back to the laptop.
Is this possible?
What would I need to have it work?

You could put the pictures in the field on your laptop
Send them to Dropbox from your laptop
At home, when you are on the desktop, access the pictures from Dropbox and put them in a folder of choice
Enhance the pictures in PSE, then send them to a destination folder, to preclude overwriting the orginals
Populate the organizer from the destination folder
This requires that you install Dropbox (free, with quite a bit of storage) on both machines. I have the app on my ipad as well, and it synchs perfectly (no catalog, however).
One advantage to this type of work-flow would be that you can get rid of the non-keepers and save the pictures that you fixed at home, prior to any organizer machinations. The old axiom: It's a virtue to be selective.

I just bought iWorks Serial Number Key over the internet. When I use the key, iWorks tells me the key is invalid!! Please help. (I bought this iWorks from someone in Singapore. I am using it in Malaysia)

I just bought iWorks Serial Number Key over the internet. When I use the key, iWorks keep telling me the key is invalid!! Please help. (I bought this iWorks from someone in Singapore. I am using it in Malaysia.). Thanks

Downloaded the Trial version. It still says the serial number key is invalid. On the iWork page where I am suppose to enter the serial number key, the "Go Back" button is always BOLD, but the "Continue" button remains GREY all the time. The "Continue" button remains grey even after I have completed the key entry. I have to type the "Return" key on my keyboard to force enter the key. The message I get is still "Invalid key".
I have called Apple. The first person helped by asking me to delete certain items in some Folders and it still did not work. I was then connected to a senior person, but I heard over the recording that there were 15 persons waiting on the line. I had to end the call because the wait will take too long.

Air Port Extreme and Time Capsule Over the internet

Ok so here is my problem.
I have an Airport Extreme with my time capsule bridged to it for local storage, and more ethernet ports.
But I cannot seem to get file sharing to work over the internet with the time capsule.
I do not have the share over wan checkbox and I do not wan to use mobile me.
I also have a DYNDNS hostname to redirect to my ip.
This works if I turn on file sharing on my computer but I want to use the time capsule as my server not folders on my computer, im on my computer haha.
Any help would be greatly apreciated.

Hello procom32. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Please check out the following article to see if it will help you. The author appears to have accomplished something very similar to what you are trying to do.

How do I backup my time capsule to another time capsule over the internet

I have a Time Capsule that I use for backups locally within my own home. My parents have one as well that they use for their backups. Ideally it would be great to have my backups offsite -- if your house burns down it doesn't help that your backups were in the house...
So is there a way to copy (automatically) the image from one TC to another and vice versa over the internet?

No, there isn't, and even if there was, it would take forever, or possibly longer.
Any backup done over the internet will be quite slow; upload speeds are generally much, much slower than download speeds. Some of the companies that do internet backups, such as Mozy, Carbonite, etc., actually ship you an external HD for the first backup. You ship that back, they load it onto their servers, then do "incremental" backups of what's changed over the net.
In addition, it's not a good idea to back up a backup; any problem with the original will be copied to, and perhaps magnified, on the copy.
A much better approach is to get a portable external HD; do backups to it, then take it to a secure off-site location. See #27 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions for some suggestions, especially the pink box there.
It still might be a good idea to have some limited data backed-up over the internet, such as relatively-small things and/or things that rarely change.

How do I access my time capsule over the internet

How do I access my time capsule over the internet. I've already set it up to share over WAN, but I have ATT so my TC is connected to the router provided by ATT can I still access my TC via the internet even though its not directly connected to the Ethernet?

The TC should be in bridge mode.. not setup to share over wan.. that will never work. That is assuming you haven't bridged the ATT router.
Once you bridge the TC see if you can setup BTMM using icloud settings in the TC. As per the Apple docos.. here.
You should also be able to directly access the TC since you have a router with dyndns client at a guess.. the setup is simply forward port 548 to the TC.
Google search this.. there is huge number of resources available. eg

Can not view video over the Internet on WVC80N

I set up the web cam, set up the port forward etc so now I am able to:
   1. view/change web cam settings inside my home network.
   2. view video inside my home network.
   3. view/change web cam settings over the Internet.
But I am not able to view video over Internet. Every time I did so (using IE browser), after clicking the view video button, I got an error : There are too many user connections or the device is busy, please try again latter.
Anyone has a fix on this? I set up port forwarding on port 1024 (that's how I can chage settings over Internet).
I spent 2 hours on the phone with Linksys tech support but they could not find the reason.
Thanks,
Sam

Who is your ISP? How you are trying to access your Camera from the remote location? Along with Port 1024 you need to do port forwarding for port 80 on your router for the Cameras IP address. As WVC80N works on your HTTP Port.
To access your camera from the Remote location, you need to use http://wan ip:80.

How to share videos with family over the internet

I have a ton of home videos that I have edited with Final Cut and I would like to find a way to share those with family and friends across the country. Is there any way to do this in the Apple ecosystem. If not, what do most recommend as the best way to do this? Thanks

Thanks for the reply... I'm actually looking for something that would allow me to have all the content available in a library so friends and family can see all the content and then choose what to watch. Ideally, it would be like iTunes or iPhoto only that it could be accessed by multiple people from all over the internet. I think Apple is missing a huge niche in this area.

Access Time Capsule over the internet

Hey guys! I have a problem. I cannot access my Time Capsule over the internet.
I have a Time Capsule 2013 which connects to the internet using a PPPoE connection and which provides wireless connection to other peripherals in my house.
The TC is running the latest firmware and I've added my iCloud account in AirPort Utility settings, in order to access the TC over the internet, via Back to My Mac.
Whenever I'm away from home, I cannot access the TC.
I see it in Finder's sidebar, but whenever I press the "Connect As.." button I get the following error:
"There was a problem connecting to the server “Time Capsule”.
The server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again."
I must add that I have a dynamic IP. Whenever the Time Capsule restarts, it gets a different IP.
Am I missing something?
Please help me. It's really important for me to be able to reach it when I'm away from home.

So the modem is bridged and the TC is doing the PPPoE authentication.. and it gets a public IP on the WAN interface.
The dynamic nature of the IP is not a problem with the BTMM and iCloud type system which should keep the intermediate connection in the cloud up to date.
What about the connection at the other side.. are you getting a public IP.. are you behind a firewall or restricted access? Remember both sides of this have to work.
See this thread.. you are not alone.. all is not sweetness and light unless you get a proper business account with static IP.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3699096?start=0&tstart=0
Apple info has a bit about issues that people experience.. and Tesserax has some setup info.
Remote Access
I would use the public IP and see if it works.. that means you need to check the IP before you leave home or use your phone tether and do the test at home so you can type in the public ip and use direct access .. at least to test it.
