Take Control of Back to My Mac

by Glenn Fleishman

Make the most of all your Internet-connected Macs via Back to My Mac!

Back to My Mac promises that you'll be able to connect easily from one of your Macs to another, whether it's down the hall or on the other side of the globe for file and screen sharing, making it possible, for instance, to snag a forgotten document or to control your Power Mac G5 from your MacBook while on a trip. Or at least that's the theory, since in practice, people have had huge trouble in getting Back to My Mac working. In this ebook, you'll get detailed help with solving puzzling router problems, using the hidden Screen Sharing application, and understanding the security implications of using Back to My Mac.

• What can I do with remote file sharing and screen sharing, anyway?
