Remote desktop and apache

remote desktop and apache.
There are times I feel that someone is looking over my shoulder, and changing my settings and controlling me.
I would like to at least be able to communicate with them so I can ltarn. I also want to be able to monitor and have some say so as to what they are doing to my computer.
Thank you

Thanx for your reply.
I should have stated that this is my personal computer and if any one should be the administrator I would think it would be me.

  • Apple Remote Desktop and controlling over VPN

    Hi All,
    I had a question about whether something was possible and if so if someone could point me to instructions/how-to on setting it up.
    I have three Macs I am administering. One is an iMac that stays in the office on the network. Two are MBP's. One is always at a remote location, the other comes in and out of the office. I work remotely administering the server and the three systems. I have the latest version of Apple Remote Desktop and obviously can access the server fine. I was wondering though if there is any way besides having the person give me their IP address every time that through the VPN I can see their system, then access it in Remote Desktop just like we are on the network together? Basically they connect to the network via VPN if they are remote and I do the same thing and then access their machine.
    I hope that makes sense. I went through different parts of the guide for ARD but didn't come across a method like that described in there.
    Anyone with opinions? Thoughts? Chants of I'm an idiot? haha
    Thanks

    Yeah for some reason I cannot get this to work right. Even if I scan the 5 VPN IP's I have setup I cannot see their machines when I am connected to the VPN. I tested it the other day by connecting one of the systems to an outside internet connection, then logged it into the VPN. I then connected my own to a different source and logged into the VPN, but Remote Desktop just won't find it.
    Just not sure why it doesn't work. I can see the computers on our internal network though, just not any connected via VPN.

  • Remote Desktop and Snow Leopard Server

    What is the best way to use Remote Desktop with Snow Leopard Server?
    I purchased a mac mini with snow leopard server and Remote desktop so I can easily manage my 11 computers, install and upgrade software etc. etc.
    The mac mini server will basically be nothing but a server.
    I will use as my main computer a mac pro. Do I need to install Remote Desktop on the server and on my mac pro? What is the best way to deploy the services of Remote desktop and mac os x server?

    You install Apple Remote Desktop on the machine you want to control from. In this case, install on your Mac Pro. All you have to do on the clients (controlled Macs) is enable remote management in the System Preferences under Sharing. Just make sure that all your controlled Macs are up to date on their ARD version (v3.3.2) which can be taken care of from Software Update.

  • I don't have a wireless keyboard or mouse for my 2007 iMac, is there any way that can use remote desktop and access it from my 2010mbp.

  • Apple Remote Desktop and WildBlue Excede

    I am trying, without luck, to get Remote Desktop to work with WildBlue Excede. Can port forwarding be established with their Surfbeam2 Satellite Modem? If so, what are the port numbers, and how is it done?
    Has anyone had success in setting up Apple Remote Desktop and WildBlue?
    WildBlue Technical Support said they do not provide static IP addresses, so it couldn't be done. Something tells me that is not true.
    Has anyone had any luck with WildBlue?
    Many thanks

    Hi Paul,
    Are you trying to connect to a computer that's connect to the internet with wildblue excede? or are you trying to connect to a computer some where else while your connect to the internet with wildeblue excede?
    Ether way, have you considered an altertive solution? For instance LogMeIn?

  • Only Remote-Desktop and Replication with 0.0 Reduction

    Hi guys,
    I have a solution with 16 WAAS 4.4.3 and I got good numbers in all default applications except Remote-Desktop and Replication
    ( All Traffic 53% of Reduction).
    I can understand not otimize Remote-Desktop Applications cause the customer is using Metaframe with crypto and already compacted and
    using too RDP with crypto/compacted.
    But in the Replication I would expect some gain in Active Directory and MS-FRS Replication.
    I got 0.0, Actually, the optmized traffic is biggest that the Original Traffic.
    I have to modify something in the Microsoft servers to be able to got reduction in Replication Application ??

    As you said, you need to only send the changes over the line.
    Java can not tell you what has changed, so you need to either write some JNI, or do a check on the current image, with the last image. (this would eat quite a bit of CPU time on the server).
    It might be worth looking at the source for VNC, and other simler products.
    The simpliest solution would be to split the image into blocks of x by y pixels, then do a pixel-by-pixel check on that block, and only send the block if it has changed.
    Next thing to think about is scrapping RMI, and using raw sockets. RMI has a fair sized overhead.
    Zipping a JPEG is unlikely to have any effect. A JPEG is already compressed.
    You might want to look at a lossless compression format, like PNG, as the JPEG will have articles. This might be acceptable. If so, changing the compression ratio of the JPEG might be an option.
    Finally, the bottle neck might be the call to Robot.createScreenCapture. This is not the fastest method.

  • Remote Desktop and Airport

    Dear All,
    I have an iMac which is connected to the internet via Airport Extreme, with no direct ethernet connection. I am trying to connect back to the computer via Remote Desktop and using the automatic IP address which is assigned. (Setings->Network)
    I cannot access this IP address via Remote Desktop. Any Ideas?

    I suppose you mean you're trying to connect to your Mac from outside your LAN. The address you see in the Network panel of System Preferences is a LAN address. To make what you want to do work, (1) from the remote computer you're going to have to specify the WAN address of the AirPort Extreme and (2) configure the AirPort Extreme (via port mapping) to pass the Remote Desktop signals to your iMac. To see the port mapping settings, in AirPort Utility look at the Advanced panel.

  • I am accessing a windows server using remote desktop and I am wondering if I can transfer files by sharing drives?

    I am accessing a windows server using remote desktop and I am wondering if I can transfer files by sharing drives?

    Probably. You may be able to use Finder > Go > Connect to server to access the server. You may be able to share folders using Remote Desktop too. Whichever one you like the best.

  • Remote Desktop and Remote Access

    I am a very new Mac user but have extensive PC experience. I work in the IT industry and I find the use of Remote Desktop very useful. How can I setup my Mac to be able to access it when I am not at home?

    What machine and operating system do you wish to access it from?

  • Remote Desktop and remote USB scanner

    Hello, We currently use NeatWorks to scan our company receipts and docs. Several of our employees access the NeatWorks database remotely, via a locally installed NeatWorks application, the connection we use to the file is the simple Finder 'Connect to Server'. Because NeatWorks is not networkable, we access it one at a time.
    The problem is the Neatworks database is huge, it can take 20 minutes to load remotely.
    Our solution to this would be to use Remote Desktop to access our server that has the application and database for a quick load. The problem is scanning.
    Can Remote Desktop connect to the users local USB scanner so that the scans go directly to the remote database? If not, is there any other elegant solution to this remote scan problem?
    We were hoping to find a networkable program to replace NeatWorks that wouldn't load the entire database, just an index perhaps.
    Thanks a million for any input!
    John

    Can the NeatWorks application on the server, see, connect to the USB scanner device on the user end.
    That would not be a function of Apple Remote Desktop. The NeatWorks software would need to have code to access a remote scanner, either natively or using the Scanner Sharing feature of Mac OS X 10.6 (if that will support the USB scanner you're using).

  • Remote Desktop and Doing System / Software Updates

    I am new to Remote Desktop.  I am starting to use it daily in my class room to share things with students and lock screens, etc.  Is there an easy way to do system updates and software updates (adobe flash player, java, etc.) without having to manually log in to each machine?  I have to believe there is a better way...could someone point me in the right direction?  Thanks!

    Oh, my version of Remote Desktop is 3.7.2

  • Shutdown a remote iMac using Apple Remote Desktop and Automator action

    Hi,
    I have my iMac and my wife's iMac connected to the same UPS. There is only one USB connector for the UPS that notifies my iMac when its time to shutdown due to a power cut out.
    Is there a way for my iMac to then send a command to my wife's iMac (which may be asleep; the iMac not my wife!) and instruct it to shutdown (forcefully)?
    The Belkin UPS software enables me to launch an automator action before it shuts down my computer.
    Your help would be appreciated,
    Tony

    Unless you already have Apple Remote Desktop, it will almost certainly be cheaper to just buy a second UPS for your wife's iMac than it will be to purchase ARD.
    If you do have ARD 3 already, then it looks like it would be possible to create an Automator workflow that would select your wife's iMac and then send the Unix command "shutdown" (look at the man page for shutdown for the usage). I haven't tried doing this, though, so I can't say for sure, but it looks like it would work.

  • New to server, need VPN for remote desktop and file share...

    I've set up server and have the VPN working, I think, I need to have several outside systems join the servers VPN permanently to allow for file sharing and remote desktop. I don't want the "normal" internet browsing to go through the VPN (huge slow down) I have read that a "split DNS" or "split tunnel" is what I need, then to disable "send all traffic over VPN connection" option on each remote system. I was a little confused after reading on how to do this on Leopard server (the only instructions I found) but have absolutely no idea on how to do this on Snow Leopard server (the server I set up is 10.6) any assistance would be great, thanks in advance.

    Server Admin, VPN, Settings, Client Information, Network Routing Definition.
    Here add a private network record type that matches your LAN/VPN ip.
    For example
    IP Address: 192.168.0.0
    Mask: 255.255.255.0
    Type: Private
    You can find more informations about this feature in Snow Leopard Server documentation:

  • Using Leopard with iCal, Apple Remote Desktop, and Quicktime/Keynote

    Hi,
    I need to create the following 'synergy' or workflow or 'automation' between these softwares:
    - iCal
    - Apple Remote Desktop
    - Quicktime/Keynote
    This is the application:
    Remotely controlling (ARD) and scheduling (iCal) several quicktime/keynote files for display (ie. playing full screen video but controlling which file is playing from home).
    How can I integrate all softwares?
    Extended application:
    I would also like to know if Leopard or any Apple software has the capability to read serial (RS-232) commands. For example, I would like to know and/or be advised if a screen/monitor is turned off (regardless if the computer is properly displaying the content or not).
    I look forward to your feedback.
    Thanks,
    LMB1980

    It is if you are trying to stream it.
    Users may want to stream their music into a third party program such as Ventrilo (as I do) to share their music (but not their libraries) with other listeners and speak on Ventrilo at the same time. You need two user profiles running Ventrilo at the same time, and two user profiles running iTunes.
    When I roll over to User Profile #2 after setting up iTunes to stream into Vent in User Profile #1, iTunes stops playing. This is a recent change. It's annoying.
    How do I change it?

  • How to reinstall remote desktop and update

    Somehow I bunged up my ARD. So I followed instructions to completely remove it and I want to reinstall. Problem is, mine is an ancient copy --- version 3.0  I have updated all along using Software Update. However, I seem to be in a loop as it won't complete the install so I can update. I'm on 10.10.
