How to File Share via Internet? - wowzer - 11-09-2008
I've just switched over to FIOS.
I've always had a static IP address with a domain connected to that address, allowing me to SSH to my computer at home from anywhere.
Now that I've gone to DHCP/verizon, I want to be able to file share. What is the best way? Does .Mac allow me to do this? Does anyone have an idea on what I can do?
Perhaps even a cron job which will run once an hour to issue an email with my updated IP address will work. Does anyone have any suggestions?
I dont need it to be mission critical, but I would like to be able to access my files via SSH.
Thanks all.

Does anyone know if I need to open any ports in my firewall for .Mac to work seamlessly?

I didn't have to open any ports for .Mac. I have DHCP (Cable) for years.

wowzer, you do realize you've been carrying on a conversation with yourself, don't you?
and no, no port opening needed for mobileme.

What? Where did all those other posts go??? ;-)
Yeah...I was just having a stream of consciousness with myself.

I'm just a bit upset at you folks for not telling me about .Mac and how it's evolved. Niffty service.

sharing files over the internet? cannot be done
you need to mail those 5 1/4" floppies
Re: How to File Share via Internet? - wowzer - 11-09-2008
I only have a few of these...is this what you mean?
Or do you mean one of them new fangled small disks?
Ah...5 1/4" floppies:
