SSH over the Internet to connect to iMac

I have an iMac 10.5.2 at home behind Airport Extreme Base Station. I would like to know what command to use to connect the iMac from outside the network. The cable modem is just that and not a router. Currently my settings are setup to have the Airport distribute IP addresses. Port 22 is open and Remote Login is set in the Sharing Pane. If there is anything else I am missing please let me know. Any help would be great, thanks.

I'm having the same problem as well. I have the Airport Extreme and I've configured the port mappings to port 22, open the ports on the imacs firewall and even then I can't establish a connection on my LAN, much less from outside of it.

What do you have set in SystemPreferences>Security>Firewall? While there click 'Advanced' and see if you are getting messages in the Firewall log.

JDBC MYSQL localhost vs. over the internet

I am new to java so please take it easy on me. I have a little bit of a crisis here and want to make sure I understand what it is that I am trying to accomplish.
I have a Java application that I want people to run from their machine that access my web server over the internet and connects to my MYSQL database. It uses webstart to download application to their machine where they run it locally. Here is how I have this setup. Is this not a standard practice? Or should I have used a different Java technology to have them run the application directly from my server using localhost instead of mywebsite?
So, am I using java in a practical way using mywebsite.com:3306 and the user running it locally on their machine. Or do I have to set this up so they run in on my server using localhost?
try
               String userName = "testuser";
               String password = "testpass";
               String url = "jdbc:mysql://mywebsite.com:3306/test";
               Class.forName ("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance ();
               conn = DriverManager.getConnection (url, userName, password);
               System.out.println ("Database connection established");
           catch (Exception e)
               System.err.println ("Cannot connect to database server");

Good evening, CD.
As the others have said, you should not have your SQL server exposed to the public. If you use ACLs or similar and allow only trusted hosts to access your MySQL server, you should be fine to continue as-is (Java client connecting to TCP port 3306 of your server if I understand your explanation correctly.) If you want to convert your simple application to a server-side app, you could also use something like procrun if your server is running Windows or jsvc for UNIX/Linux. This will enable you to run your app as a service/daemon and you could configure it to listen on an arbitrary port for incoming connections and use the app as an intermediary for interfacing connecting clients with your MySQL database. This is just another idea opposed to installing and configuring Tomcat, Jetty, or the like and possibly a webserver in front of that.

Easy cheap way to administer a standalone iMac over the internet

I have an iMac G5 running Tiger and wish to administer and manage my father's iMac G5 also running Tiger, over the internet, rather than having to physically travel to his place everytime he has a difficuly with his system.
I will only be using this to manage 1 computer (not a network) so I simply need to be able to log into his machine as administrator and check logs, manage software versions etc.
What cost effective software solution do recommend to perform this task (I understand that Apple Remote Desktop will do this easily, but is more feature rich and expensive than what I probably need).
Cheers
Steve

Easily done. One way is with OSXvnc/Chicken of the Sea. OSXvnc is a small vnc server application (open source) that you'll put on your parent's machine. Chicken of the Sea is the vnc viewer app that you will put on your machine and will open every time your parents call for help. Setup is fairly straight-forward, even for someone new to the concept. These can be downloaded from versiontracker.com and macupdate.com.
Another way to do this is with the slightly more capable Vine viewer/server package from Redstone Software. Apparently just released and available for downloading and trying. The server part is simply an upgraded version of the OSXvnc app. It's free (and also available on versiontracker, etc.). The viewer part costs 19.95 through November (I think), but it is much easier to use than Chicken of the Sea and allows you to copy and paste files between machines.
https://www.redstonesoftware.com/products/vine/viewer/index.html
One caveat: I have not tried these remotely myself -- only on the ethernet network here at home, consisting of three macs -- but I've been told they can connect distant machines as well. Try these, and if you can get any of them to work remotely, please let us (me!) know.
One option that costs more than these mostly free offerings (but considerably less than Apple Remote Desktop!) is Netopia's Timbuktu Pro 8. You'll need to buy a copy for each machine (twin-pack download for 180 dollars), but they do advertise remote connections via the Internet. They have a two-week demo that you can try before you buy. It also has some kind of Skype integration that makes for easier connections.

How can I set up my macbook air to use programs on my iMac over the internet?

I have a program (MacPractice) on my iMac. It's running the server program while my MacBook Air is running the client software which has to be connected via the wireless (last Gen Time machine) in my office to function. What do I need to do to be able to access my iMac over the internet when I'm out of the office? I was told that I would need to set up a DNS (?) address to log in. I use a Comcast internet modem which goes through my Time Machine wireless router to my iMac. Is this even possible to do with the current setup?

Ok, in this case your iMac will be performing as an application server. As such, it will need to be "reachable" from the Internet. This is typically done in one of two ways: 1) It is assigned a static Public IP address, or 2) It is assigned a static Private IP address.
In the first method, your iMac will be like any other publically available server (Web, E-Mail, etc.) To accomplish this, you would need for your ISP to provide you with a static Public IP. You can then configure the AirPort Extreme to allow remote clients to access this server by creating a DMZ for the server. This would fully expose your iMac to the Internet.
In the second method, you would assign the iMac a static Private IP address that is just outside of the default range of the AirPort's DHCP service. You would then configure the AirPort for port mapping. Which ports that will be needed to be mapped will depend on what your application's support tells you.

Connecting to a database over the internet

Hello ,
Ok heres an interesting question -
I would like to have an applet running on my browser which needs to connect to a central server over the internet, which in turn will need to connect to a database and query some results. These results will be stored as flat files within the server.
At the moment, I have a URL that connects to the database via the
internet and that is working. However I don't think my applet on my browser will be able to create a flat file on that server direclty.
Could some one please tell me how to go about this problem?
Shalini

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.

How can I connect to my Mom's machine over the internet?

I installed ARD 3.6.1 on my laptop and was able to do a successful Intereact > Control to my Mom's machine from my machine while at her house, but when I went home to my house and tried the same thing I got the message:
"Connection failed to Mom's Computer. . . Please make sure that the Remote Mgmnt is enabled . . . Also make sure network connection is working properly."
Any clues?
Greg

Yes you can do this, connect to another computer over the internet using ARD--if you a person who likes to sleep on a bed of nails for the fun of it, who enjoys unanesthetized body piercings. But this product is not designed for this. It's designed for using on networked computers. After spending about ten hours tryng to make it work, I was finally told by a wise Apple support guy that while such a thing is possible, grasshopper. it's really hard and impractical, and even if you get it work, it probably won't stay working. I was given a refund and told to look for a more suitable product.
Voila, I found it! The logmein.com free product does everything I want. Everything! In less than 15 minutes.
My beef is with the Apple ARD website. Why don't they just say at the beginning:
Warning: Not designed to support your mother's frickin computer over the internet!
Would've saved 10 hours of grief and two calls to Apple Support.

Best Way To Set Up Screen Sharing Over The Internet

What is the best/simplest way to set up screen sharing over the internet so I can remotely control my Mac at home from my Mac at work? My Mac at work is running 10.5.6, my Mac at home is running 10.4.11.

simplest
Get both Macs up to Mac OS X (Leopard). Then use Apple's MobileMe Back-to-my-Mac service.
Or, use iChat screen sharing along with the iChat free 3rd party Chax add-on which allows selected iChat Buddies to auto-accept an iChat screen sharing request. Free AOL Instant Messaging accounts can be used as the iChat accounts.
If you do not want to upgrade all systems to Leopard...
Next would be using the free LogMeIn.com account, or similar service. This will work
The above avoid needing to figure out how you get through the home routers, and provide encrypted screen sharing sessions.
After that you need to arrange for router port forwarding. If you want secure connections, then you should arrange to port forward the SSH port 22, then use ssh tunnels for VNC based screen sharing connections. There are GUI based utilities that will help setting up SSH tunnels. Do some searches over at VersionTracker.com or MacUpdates.com

Accessing my Time Capsule hard drive over the internet via iCloud doesn't work.

Hi Everyone,
I have an iCloud account and read recently, that it is possible to acces the hard drive of an Time Capsule over the internet, if "Back to my Mac" is activated on my MacBook an the Time Capsule.
I updated the Time Capsule to Firmware Version 7.6.1 and the Airport Utility to version 6. Actually the Time Capsule HDD is displayes in Finder's Sidebar, when I'm using a forreign internet connection. But when I click on it an error message tells me that a connection to the server (I assume server=Time Capsule) cannot be established. Funnily enough I can access the HDD of my iMac at home.
The Time Capsule network setting is "Bridge Mode" Since I can't deactivate the DNS functionality of my router/mode, an easybox 803 A, unfortunately which I cannot replace, because it is also used for hosting the telephone.
Does anybody have an idea, where the problem could be? Wrong settings in the Time Capsule config or maybe the blocking by the router?
Thank you all in advance,
Markus
Please consider, that I have absolutely no idea of networking.

I don't know exactly how, but I got it working. I will try to explain, what I did.
1. I used the easybox as DHCP-Server an set the TC to Bridge Mode.
2. Then I gave the TC a fixed IP in the easbybox menu by using it's MAC-address (It seems that the address range has to be either 192.168.X.Y or 10.0.X.Y to make the TC accessable later).
3. I made the TC a DHCP-Server (DHCP only, not also NAT). The IP addess range of the TC starts after it's own IP adress (10.0.0.111) and ends at (10.0.0.250). The IP range of the easybox starts with 10.0.0.1 (it's own) and end with the TC's (10.0.0.111).
4. Then the Airport Utility told me that if I want to share an DHCP range the TC has to be set to a fixed IP setting, which I set up, leaving the IP-address 10.0.0.111 and the Router IP 10.0.0.1 (the easyboxs').
5. Then it worked in my case. Since I don't even know what I did, I'm not shure if it workes under other circumstances.
There are of course many variables. Such as the type of the router and the TC or the kind of the internet connection.

Hi Alain,
Browsing the public IP from a remote location to the site, so its over the internet.
Not sure I understand what you refer to as SVI, could this be the VLAN? If it is, then I can say it is up because I can ping the server which is on this VLAN from within the router when I log into it. Also, when I am within the LAN, I am able to browse to the local IP on the server.
I suspect some firewall or access list issue may be preventing something...

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.
