  If you just want to grab files, you could use Apple File Sharing, nothing else needed, to mount your remote Mac's hard drive on your desktop (plus any attached drives).

  Go Connect to Server > afp://(ip address):548
  You need to turn on file sharing and if your Mac is on a LAN at home, set port forwarding of port 548 in your router to point at your Mac

  • Anything can be hacked. Safe enough. Use good passwords and turn on firewall.ribit
