Spooky, how about this? If you're looking for something needlessly complex of course.
The steps in doing this from Leopard to Tiger are more or less these:
1. Turn on "Apple Remote Desktop" in the Sharing tab of System Preferences. Click the "Access Privileges.." button and in the list "Allow user to do the following on this computer..." turn on all the rights you wish to give this user. After you have made your choices click OK.
2. Under the "Access Privileges..." button you now see: "Others can manage your computer using the address x.x.x.x". Use this address to contact the computer if Bonjour doesn't detect it.
3. On a Mac running Leopard you will now see the Tiger-Mac in the Shared section of the sidebar of any Finder window. Choose it and click Share Screen to log in using the account name and password of the user to whom you earlier gave the right to control the Tiger Mac.
Like magic you will now see the screen of the other Mac in a window on your screen. And you can use it like sitting in front of it.This is in Leopard called "Instant screen sharing from the Finder". Click "Finder" in the list, if that's not what is displayed.
- This is to control one mac from another one, no copying of files etc needed.ian
- I'm on OSX 10.3.9... is this the 'Leopard' you speak of.
*Crosses fingers and hopes it is.Horp - Gah, Leopard starts at 10.5, I'm only 10.3.
I'll have to buy a monitor and do it all manually. = (Horp - nah, leopard apparently is 10.5, Im not on it either and never know what fucking cat Im working on.ian
