Appleshare/IP is what you want, and you don't need any extra software. On the server, make sure you have personal file sharing turned on and your firewall has port 548 open. You'll also need to know the IP address or DNS name of the server machine on the Internet. On the client machine, use the Go->Connect to Server menu item in the Finder. In the Server Address field type afp://the_client_machine_IP_address and hit return. You should get a dialog box into which you type your user name and password. I do this all the time from home to connect to office machines and from my office to home. The main thing that can go wrong is a Firewall that blocks port 548. | The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will | be January 27.
