Remote access via internet to another macbook

I would like to access my moms computer when she needs help sometimes via the internet. We both have Macbooks and high speed internet. Before I move away I can install whatever is necessary on her computer. Then if she has computer problems (as she often does) I can go onto her computer to sort it out. (Obviously, I will have to phone her to tell her to open up the computer). Is this a really involved thing that I am asking? I don't really know where to start. I have heard of remote desktop but after reviewing it, it sounds like it is much more than what I am looking for. Any info to point me in the right direction would be much appreciated.

So why is system prefs saying, "To log in to this computer remotely, type "ssh [email protected]" at a shell command prompt."
Is it just because it doesn't know its behind the router?
I have tried telling finder to connect to server; vnc://65.95.40.34 and it just times out.
I have also tried setting Chicken of the VNC to;
HOST: 65.95.40.34
Display: 0
Password: (password that I set for login on her computer)
This just times out eventually.
I have also tried terminal both ways:
"ssh [email protected]" and
"ssh [email protected]"
and it tells me "ssh: connect to host 65.95.40.34 port 22: Operation timed out"
It take a minute or two using any of these methods before it tells me that its timed out.
I have made sure that she has her computer opened up and turned on of course and the settings so it will wake if admin accesses remotely.
Any ideas as to why this wouldn't work?
Thanks for all the info.

Remote access via internet

Have an Vitek DVR with several cameras and after correctly configuring port forwarding on the router and input the IP to the DVR, I am able to view the camera pictures without any problems on the MacBook Pro. However, being able to view the camera results from the IPHONE via remote access, through Safari, requires an APP. Having tried the VITEK DVRViewer app, and half a dozen other apps, I am unable to connect via the iphone. I contacted VITEK and was informed that they are aware of the problem, which they say is due from the IOS6 update, an updated app was submitted to Apple for approval, which would solve the issue.
I have found many hits on the YouTube with the same issues. Does anyone know of a solution, or if they were told by VITEK of the same solution?
Thank you

This would not seem to be an issue with Apple Remote Desktop, Apple's software for managing networked Macs and the topic of this forum. I'd suggest you take this up in the iPhone forum, where you'll be more likely to encounter someone attempting to run the same app and hence provide suggestions.
Regards.

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.

Is it possible to have a VI "run when opened" when accessed via Internet Explorer?

I am trying to get a remote panel application to "run when opened" when is accessed via Internet explorer. I have multiple remote panel licenses on the server and the VI is Re-entrant. The application works well except for this issue. Having the VI "Run When Opened" via IE is very important to the user. As is, when IE opens, the user must click on the panel image once to get the VI's attention and then again on the start arrow to run the program. Is there any way around this or a way to simplify the process?
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

This is actually the intended operation of remote front panels, however, we can simplify the operation to meet closer with what your customer wants. Basically, if you were to always have your program run in somewhat of an idle state, you can use the Application Control>>Property node for 'RemotePanel.ConnToClients' property to determine when a user is connected and run the proccess of the program as soon as a connection is detected. When no connection is detected you could have the program run in an idle state. The attached screenshot shows a general way to do this. Have a good evening!

Help For Remote Access Via VPN

Need Help
what cisco product or router specification or model can we use for VPN connection in our remote site via Internet Connection
thanks Godbless

There are several options here, but more information is probably needed to give a good recommendation.
1. What type of VPN? A site to site VPN that stays up, or remote VPN that is more on demand?
2. What type of Internet access to have at your remote site?
3. Are you going to also use this as a gateway to the Internet or will this device sit to the side or behind your gateway?
My first inclination is that if you just need occasional remote access to your remote site for support issues check out the ASA 5505. Depending on where you will place it and what amount of user traffic will flow through it, you may be able to get by with just a base license and use IPSec remote VPN.

Web Dynpro application accessed via internet?

Hallo
We should develop one Application, but it should be accessed via internet. Our Personal System and Material System ist from SAP. Thus we want to did the GUI in Web Dynpro for Java.
I'm not sure if the WD runs on internet? And ist it ture that SAP only good for the intranet application? Have you any example to solve the problem such as authentication and autorisation for the service (using adaptive Web Service)?
Thanks a lot and
Nice regards

WD Java Apps can be accessed outside Intranet for example companies expose their ESS/MSS applications(WD Java apps) on the internet for their employees and managers. However you need to check for browser compatitbilty depending on the Portal SP level you are using. WD Java many not be supported by all browsers and versions.
Hope this helps

Remote access via ftp

Hi.
I am trying to set up remote access to my mac so I can upload files to it remotely from a PC. I want the simplest free solution as I simply want occasional access to back up files from my work PC to my home mac. I have got 90% of the way, but fallen at the final hurdle.
I am using OSX Leopard 10.5.8 and a Linksys WRT54G wireless router
I am trying to access my imac via ftp as this appears to be the simplest route. So far I have done the following:
(a) Followed the advice in "Mac OSX Missing Manual" and portforwarding.com: i.e. ...
(b) Set up a static IP address on my mac through system preferences. This is working as I can access the internet fine.
(c) Turned off "Block anonymous internet requests" in the router settings
(d) Set up port forwarding of port 21 using the static IP address I have set up
(e) In system preferences, turned on file sharing using ftp
(f) Tested access using Safari - typed in my local static IP address as specified in the file sharing ftp box in the sharing section of system preferences. I logged in with my main account log in info. This worked - I immediately got a finder window pop up with my folders visible. The ftp server was also mounted on my desktop.
(g) Tested access using Safari via my public IP address. This was much slower. I eventually got the login box, but when I entered the same main account login info I eventually got an error message saying password / username were incorrect. They weren't, as I have tried this several times. (I don't have access to a PC on another network to test that way.)
Very grateful for any help.
Thanks

I am not sure which type of FTP Apple uses but this will give you the differences the in firewall policy for active and passive. http://slacksite.com/other/ftp.html you will need to set the firewall accordingly.
You may also have problems with the firewall in use at work, it depends on how its been locked down.
It depends on how much time you have to spend on the problem. There are free remote control applications that include file transfer, have a look at this site http://www.teamviewer.com/download/index.aspx , there is a free version available but I have not used this software. There are other similar products some free, some cost.
If you cannot get any answers to your question at least there are other esiaer options open to you.

Remote access via base station

I am thinking of buying a new base station, but for one purpose only if anyone can help me. I would like to access media files on an attached hard drive to the base station remotely over the internet. I have a router/ modem, which can do this if I open a port but I would rather have a ringfenced base station attached to it that I could access from abroad etc.
Is it possible to open a port on the base station to allow password protected internet traffic to access files like .m4v on an attached hard drive ? If so how can this be set up without allowing access to my home computers as well?
I would be grateful for any assistance.
thanks
thank you

There are three available methods to access a connected disk. LAN acces (internal) is the default and what you'd use for TC as well as just a remote fileshare/NAS. You can choose password level access for the disk or setup individual accounts which is neat as it creates "home" folders for each user if you chose that option.
WAN (Internet/outside your LAN or home private network) is another and you would setup password access to the disk. Not sure if you would need a static ip or setup a dyndns type service so you'd knowyou homerouter's address.
The most secure and easily accessed from over Internet (and third available option) is to setup your MobileMe account in the AirPort Extreme's profile and MM will manage "finding" your home network and it's connection uses IPv6 which has built in encryption layer/tunnel.
Since I've not tried the WAN option I'm looking to see how to remotely access from a PC as well. I think WAN will natively support just the same way the LAN does.

TC remote access by both PC and MacBook Pro

So I've finally figured out how to back up both my PC's and MAcBook to the TimeCapsule thankx to all of the information and direct help from everyone here! I still posses the problem of not being able to remotely access the TC from my PC or Macbook at home. I really need help with this as I have information stored on the TC (at work), that I need to access from home. Please, any help would be appreciated.

Ok, your setup is now much more confusing..
Is the TC in bridge?? It should be if it is behind the modem router. In which case there is no WAN port on it.
If the AT&T modem router uses dyndns then you can easily login via AFP.
You are not getting a static ip btw.. you are simply updating a url when the public ip changes.
You will need to set a static ip on the TC .. do this via dhcp to TC MAC address if possible.
Once you have a URL that is to your router, simply forward AFP port then to the IP of the TC. AFP uses. 548 TCP.. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1629
You don't need iCloud to do this.. this is a direct link to your router. All iCloud was doing is linking your IP dynamically to the Apple servers.. which Apple keep inhouse to keep you from straying.. like a marriage with a ball and chain really.

Access via internet

Hi,
Can I configure my time capsule as a file server and can I access over internet via PC?

You can setup the TC as a fire server.. although as I have posted many times this morning.. it is a bad idea.. the TC is unable to back itself up. It has a single disk so any failure is total failure.
And no, you cannot access it from a PC remotely in any way that is secure unless you are using a vpn router and have the TC installed behind it as bridged device. That is really the only way, as SMB file protocol is not available on the WAN of the TC, only AFP.

Remote access vpn going through another firewall segment

Hi,
Can i know that when use remote access vpn connect to asa firewall inside interface, after that the remote access vpn is it can connect to another firewall segment , the firewall segment is behind the inside interface?

Hello Sam,
As long as you include that traffic into the crypto acl and also on the NO_NAT configuration the answer would be yes. That is possible

Accessing the internet anywhereon a Macbook???

I'm thining of purchasing a Apple MacBook MC207LL/A 13.3-Inch Laptop I would like to be able to access the internet to browse, play live365, xmradio, etc... I would like to be able to do this anywhere (in the city). Is this possible or do I need to be in an internet or wi-fi network? Im thining this because i saw where Cricket offers you wireless internet on your pc anywhere you go.

The service will probably come with some hardware. If that hardware is in the form of a PCMCIA card (also called PCCARD), then the standard MacBook cannot use it, since it does not have a PCMCIA slot.
Other services use a dongle that connects to the USB port. If the provider says it supports Macs, then you're good to go.
Do note that you really need 3G speed. Service very much depends on the city you live in. Check the coverage maps of the provider. Also note that a lot of 3G networks have been suffering in recent times.

BSP application access via internet

to access your BSP from internet your app server from where BSP runs has to be exposed to internet (DMZ). you should talk to your system admin guys to set it up

I'm running static IP here. I'll add your 4 lines at the bottom of the file, changing "192.168.255.48" to "192.168.0.52", IP addr of Arch.
Would there be any conflict to the existing rules? It seems there is no OUTPUT rule there.

what does 3:39 represent? Drop time? TIA
