Remote Access Over The Internet

I have an iMac G5 in my home office setup, from which I am able to access the main server here at our business office. I can download files to my home computer, work on them, and upload them back to the server when I'm finished.
How can I/do I set up my home computer for access in the opposite direction, in other words, to access files on my home computer from my office computer? Do I need any additional hardware or software?

Are you using any type of router at home? If not you don't need to do anything special except enable Personal File Sharing on your iMac G5.
If you are using a router, you will need to configure the iMac G5 to use a static/manual IP address and then forward the appropriate ports through the router to your iMac G5.

I do not own neither a Mac nor an iOS devices. May I still be able to use all features of Time Capsule, including remote access over the internet?

As described above.

You will have setup issues.. as the latest AC model requires a Mac or iOS device.. eventually apple will release a windows version of the utility.. and the current one does partly work but Apple seem in no hurry.
You can find a Mac or iPad equipped friend to do the setup.. once setup the Windows computer can use it.
BUTT you cannot access it from remote..
Not with windows. You need BTMM and iCloud account. AFAIK even with those you cannot reach the TC.
You can do it manually.. using a vpn. Buy a proper vpn router and use a vpn client on the windows computer.. the TC would be in bridge to the network..
Apple really did not make this for windows.. and SMB access is only provided on LAN access not WAN.

Can you access an external HD plugged into the Airport Extreme from a remote location over the internet?

Can you access an external HD plugged into the Airport Extreme from a remote location over the internet?
Also can the content on the exteral HD plugged into the airport be accessed by the TV to stream content?

The first question answer is yes..
The question is asked continually.. please read the methods that Tesserax wrote up so well.
See remote access tip here.
AirPort
Also can the content on the exteral HD plugged into the airport be accessed by the TV to stream content?
Unlikely .. because your TV uses a system called DLNA.. and Apple do not support DLNA in any way shape or form.. because they are fully committed to iTunes.. Apple routers have no media extensions.. unlike most other decent brands now which mostly do support multimedia.
Having said that.. you can place your video files on the external hard disk.. and play them.. but you need a player.. a real player not an apple TV which is a streamer.. eg A WD Live TV can play video files.. because it is a media player.. unlike your TV or apple TV.

How does one set up remote access via the internet to access files stored on the Time Capsule using airport utility 6.1

I was just wondering if anyone can provide me with instructions please on how to set up remote access via the internet to the time capsule when away from home?
I am running OS X Mountain Lion operating system and have Airport Utility 6.1.
Many thanks to you all for your help.

I think the instructions should be all in BTMM with iCloud.
Instructions are all there.

Remote Backup Over the Internet to Time Capsule

I am looking to backup my macbook pro over the internet to a remote Time Capsule. Is there a solution? i'm using Lion OS

How easy or hard this is depends on how the TC is setup, but if it is the main router and is getting the public IP from the modem it should be relatively easy to share on the internet. I haven't done it so let me leave that for you to google or others here to answer.
Here is a pre-googled one for you to start.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1792838?start=0&tstart=0
You can do it manually using port forwarding from the router, if you are not using TC in router mode.
http://gigaom.com/apple/access-your-time-capsule-over-the-internet/
Note the requirements to use a public IP address (static address is far superior to do this) or dyndns address.
Getting port forwarding to work in some routers is non-trivial.
Apple should have designed the TC with secure ftp or some sort of vpn/ssl access.. but I digress. They didn't and as yet nobody has managed to hack one in.
But I guess I would be trying to talk you out of doing it at all. Upload on vast majority of internet connections is slow.. even if you have fast downloads, uploads are usually restricted to 1mbit.. you might be fortunate and have really fast connection but mostly uploads are far to slow to want to do this.
Lion will recognise that you are not on your home network, or the external backup device is absent and use local drive to take a snapshot. Although a local hdd is obviously less safe than a true backup, it is generally an excellent solution for roadies. That is why it is turned on by default in notebooks.

Remote control over the Internet?

Hi,
I was under the impression that there was a way to use Zenworks to
remote
control via the Internet.
I'm a consultant and support several NetWare 6 installations and would
love to be able to use Zenworks to support my clients from here.
The only way I have seen so far is either to remote control a
workstation
with something like PC Anywhere and run Console One remotely.
Did I miss something?
Is anyone doing this? How can I do this?
Thanks
Willem

you're probably thinking of ZfD4.x, where you can remote control by
just specifying the IP address.

How do I setup TimeCapsule up for remote access through the internet.

I have a first gen time capsule that I would like to access remotely when I'm not at home. I have a modem/router combo Motorola sb6141 at home that my time capsule is attached to. I have read on other threads that I need to turn off the wireless on my time capsule and have a dedicated IP address from Comcast. I was just hoping for more confirmation/ideas that have worked for everyone else. Thanks!

A Gen1 TC will need to be updated to 7.6.1 firmware for preference although the latest is 7.6.3 and use BTMM and iCloud.. as long as the TC is operating as the main router it will work better than other methods.. assuming you are a Mac to access it remotely. If you are not using a Mac what are you using??
http://jimmymacsupport.com/remotely-access-your-airport-extreme-or-time-capsule- files/
There is lots of info if you just google.. remote access time capsule
Or BTMM and icloud
Apple have several documents about how to do the setup..
Then of course there is the real world.. if you do all this and it fails.. as it can do.. post again.
Perhaps in this thread.

Get an error message trying to access a remote PC over the internet on Mac

At work we have a remote web work place. I can get into the site but when I try to access the link to the computer list the message below is displayed.
Error Message:
This portion of the Remote Web Workplace requires the Microsoft Remote Desktop ActiveX Control. Your browser's security settings may be preventing you from downloading ActiveX controls. Adjust these settings, and try to connect again.
With the new Snow Leopard it has support for the remote exchange server 2007. The one I'm desire to access would be XP Pro, but I'm not getting far enough to address them yet. When i use my PC there's a gold bar that comes down and says install Active X and I accept. Any idea's?
Thanks,
Jimmie

TC Hard Drive Access over the Internet

Hello,
I have a TC that is connected to my router. I have a fix IP from from my ISP

I use the the FREE service of Logmein.com to access my home macs from work.

FTP access over the Internet

Hi Forum, i am trying to create a FTP access on my old G5 for clients to access and upload and download files to. I have setup FTP Sharing and user access and assigned permissions to their respective folders to access. When i use an FTP client or select connect to server and type my ip address in a popup window appears and i enter the correct username and password i get the following response,
" *the username or password is not valid* " I have also setup the firewall correctly and assigned portforwarding on my router to accept connections from the ip address. Any help or a step by step guide to sort the issue out would be greatly appreciated.

Hi thanx for your help, i tried my home account and it worked. I was hoping that i could setup a shared user so clients would not be able to know my details and could have there own unique username and password to upload and download files to there respective folder.

Remote printing over the internet

My Time Capsule is in a storage room, connected to my cable modem.
I have an Ethernet cable connecting the Time Capsule to my Airport Express in my home office. The Airport Express extends the network. My printer is plugged into the USB port on Airport Express, so I can print wirelessly.
The Time Capsule supports MobileMe, which means when I'm away from home I can still connect to the Time Capsule's hard drive. I can even run Airport Utility remotely.
What I can't do is print to my home printer. The Time Capsule supports printing to a printer connected directly to its USB port, but I can't figure out how to print remotely to the printer plugged into my Airport Express.
Is this even possible? If I replaced the Express with an Airport Extreme, would that work?

Reading/writing to remote database over the internet

Hi,
We have a hosted APEX application and have a requirement to be able to query and update our local database. I believe our options are:
- Set up some web services locally and reference them from our hosted APEX app
- Create a database link from the hosted instance to local instance and query/update the tables directly
I'm looking for opinions and advice on the best (secure, reliable) way to approach this.
Thanks,
Andrew.

Yes, put a servlet in between the applet and database. Let the servlet interace with the database on the applet's behalf and write that file on the server side.

Time Capsule - how to gain "over-the-internet" access from Windows 7!

Hi guys,
I've been fighting for such a long time with my Time Capsule. I have no idea how to gain access "over-the-internet" on a PC (Windows 7) which is running on another network. My Time Capsule is set up with my Macbook Pro at home running Lion OSX, and i have internet connection. My brother who also uses Macbook has no problems connecting to my Time Capsule - through finder (connect to a server). But how do I gain "over-the-internet" access to my Time Capsule through a PC (Windows 7) from my office? Is there please someone who can guide me step-by-step, how to gain connection to my TC through a PC? Or maybe just an explantaion what has to be done on the PC before this thing can work out! This was the main reason to why i bought Time Capsule - besides of the Time Machine function. I also have an iCloud account (earlier Mobile Me), if that makes any difference.
Thanks!

There is no way to do it from windows direct to the TC.
It only presents AFP to the WAN side. And most ISP block SMB from internet access due to risks. There is AFAIK, no suitable AFP protocol utility for windows at the moment. If you google and find one, be aware it probably will not work to your satisfaction anyway.
You must use a Mac to access AFP but even then it is not a secure protocol and I would recommend against it anyway.
So basically if you had have asked before purchasing, I would have said, TC is unsuitable product. It is a backup drive for a Mac. It is not a NAS.. it is not designed for remote access by any computer other than a Mac. It does not support any other file protocol to the WAN interface.. and no secure protocol even there.
A NAS with Time Machine extensions from QNAP, Synology, Netgear all are designed for web access and are far more suitable. Researching a purchase beforehand is always worthwhile.
Anyway, your choices are.. return the TC and buy something more suited to the job.
Or if return is now impossible sell the TC on ebay.. etc and do the same thing.. buy a more suitable NAS.
Or buy a cheap mac mini (even second hand) and use that for communications with home.
Or, replace your current router with something that includes vpn. This is actually a good and commercially sound decision. VPN is generally used by business to connect to remote locations, because it is secure and will allow the greatest flexibility of connection. How hard or easy depends on the current setup. I would recommend a combined modem router with vpn server if you have adsl. Or for cable you can find plenty of routers with combined vpn. You can also use those for adsl if your ISP allows pppoe with bridged modem. The TC will have to be bridged as well. For other broadband it might be harder to find the right kind of box.
Once you setup a vpn you can access it from work using the appropiate vpn client in your work computer.

Cannot access RWA, VPN etc over the Internet but RDP OK - Essentials Role on WS2012R2

Hello
I have a Hyper-V VM with WS2012R2 installed plus the Essentials Experience Role with RWA and VPN enabled.
There are 2 virtual NICS one on the LAN and one on the Internet. Both display the RWA logon screen when accessed locally. Both allow RDP no problem including over the Internet.
However the RWA logon screen does not display when accessed over the Internet.
Any ideas? It's driving me crazy!

Hmm. It seems to work on both NICs locally but I take your advice.
I wouldn't want to open up the LAN NIC to the Internet so I think the Essentials Experience Role will be out. Shame.
Thanks
