Hello.
Thanks very much for the response.
It's very easy to set up SSH on your Mac (System Preferences > Sharing > Check "Remote Login" box) but you may have a few pitfalls in the way if you're trying to connect from anywhere other than your local network. You didn't specify too much detail, but I would assume you're trying to connect to your mac from outside your home network (From work, perhaps) and your problem is probably any firewall you have between your desktop Mac and your "remote location." The firewall at the remote location (if any) shouldn't be a problem as most firewalls only lock out outgoing connections rather than incoming ones. Since this is the case, you'll need to open port 22 on your firewall (Probably using port forwarding, but port triggering may work as well).
Right. I can connect from within the local network just fine. When I try to connect from outside, I get no response from my home Mac and eventually a timeout. My local router is set up to forward port 22 to my desktop Mac. The router logs seem to indicate that my outside request is arriving and the router is forwarding.
I didn't want to gum up the list with unrelated chatter, so I hope it's okay if I contact you privately. You're the only response I've received, so my last hope. ;)
