| How can I connect 2 Macs over the net? I want to connect my laptop (running 10.4) to my work computer (running 10.3) so I can access files and programs from home. Now I know Remote Access can do this but it's a bundle of cash. Can this be one with VNC or some other way? If so, how? Is it easy? Any help would be great. Thanks  |

| The biggest deal is *programs*. VNC can do it, but it's not the best way (it's slow). No matter what solution you use, you'll more than likely need firewall holes opened for your machine; you'll have to talk to your IT department.

| I saw that but it started off in Windows and then went into terminal stuff and looked complicated. I was hoping someone had an easier answer and a tutorial without a PC in it. |

| You can use SSH for access, and FTP for file transfer. SCP over SSH would also probably work: http://acs.ucsd.edu/info/scp.php

| Is there an app that simplifies that with a GUI? |

| Chicken of the VNC Just go to your favorite download site and look for VNC applications. Just remember, read the directions!

| Yea, to complicated. I tried the Chicken but I didn't find any directions and I'm just completely lost on this whole topic.  I guess I'll stick with burning a DVD of the files and hope that's good enough. |
